Question
In the question given below, a set of sentences is
given, which when properly sequenced, form a coherent paragraph. Arrange the sentences in the correct sequence and choose the option which gives the correct order. A. The boy was then changed into a talking puppet. B. Additionally, whenever would Pinocchio lie, his wooden nose would grow an inch longer. C. One day, the wizard got very angry and punished the boy with a curse. D. But that was not the complete punishment. E. A boy named Pinocchio was very naughty and troubled the village wizard a lot.Solution
E is the first sentence as it introduces us to the subject 'Pinocchio'. C is next as it tells us a situation where the boy was cursed. A is next as it explains the curse [the boy is changed to a puppet]. D is next as it tells us the curse wasn't complete. B is last as it tells us the last part of the curse [lying would lead to an extension of the boy puppet's nose]. The correct order is ECADB. Hence, the correct answer is option d).
