Question
Which of the following is the fourth sentence of the
passage? Five statements are given below, which are jumbled in any random order. These statements will form a coherent and meaningful paragraph, when arranged in the correct sequence. Arrange the sentences in the right order and answer the questions that follow. (a) He had written the stories to entertain his own children. (b) They mentioned that six more titles will be joining the collection in 2023. (c) But now, the Shah Foundation has decided to publish these stories as richly-illustrated children’s books. (d) Idries Shah had written a series of charming and captivating stories.        (e) They decided to publish six titles first, which include Speak First and Lose, and The Onion.Solution
The correct order of the sentences is d, a, c, e and b . Here, only d mentions who we are talking about and gives the background to the whole paragraph. So, it should come first. Once we mention that the stories were written, the next is, for whom it was written for. a answers the question and is undoubtedly the second sentence. The sentences c, e and b mention about publication of the books and post-publication. In that, the decision to publish should come first. so, c is the third sentence. e comes next, because b mentions six more titles joining the existing one, and the existing titles are mentioned in e .
