In 1981, a freighter called the Primrose ran aground on a coral reef in the Bay of Bengal. A.

B. âWild men, estimate more than 50, carrying various homemade weapons, are making two or three wooden boats,â the Primroseâs captain radioed to his headquarters. C. The sailorâs relief at the sight of a possible rescue party ebbed as the men came into view: nearly naked, carrying spears and bows and arrows. D. Winds were high and the surf around the ______ vessel was heaving. E. After a few days stuck in the reef, a watchman reported seeing a group emerge from the jungle on the island a few hundred metres away. 7. After three terrifying days, an Indian navy boat winched the stranded sailors to safety.Solution
The paragraph talks about the escape of boat Primrose from tribals living on an island. Statement 1 states that Primrose had ran aground on a reef. In statement E, the âreefâ refers to the coral reef mentioned in Statement 1. Also, E forms a logical start of the sequence of events (as E reports first sighting of tribals). Thus, E is the first statement after Statement 1. Statement C comes next in the sequence of events. Statement E states that the watchman reported seeing the group and in statement C, the group comes into sight for the first time. Statement B follows statement C as the âwild menâ mentioned in it refers to the men seen by the crew in statement C. Statement B is the next statement even logically as only after seeing the men can the captain describe them to his headquarters. Statements D and A describe the effort of tribals to reach the boat. Statement D describes the weather and statement A describes how that weather saved the crew from tribals. Also, in statement A, âthe surging swellâ is a reference to the surf mentioned in Statement D. Therefore, D is followed by A. Thus, the sequence is: 1-ECBDA-7
