Which of the following is FIFTH after rearrangement?Solution
E, C, D, B, F, A Start with the Introduction (E): The paragraph must start by introducing the main character and setting the scene. • E. The ancient mariner squinted at the horizon, searching for any sign of land after weeks at sea. (This establishes who, what they're doing, and where/when.) Describe the Situation (C): The next logical step is to explain why the mariner is squinting and why finding land is urgent—by detailing the hardship. • C. His small wooden vessel had endured a relentless series of storms, wearing down both the boat and his spirit. (This explains the consequences of the weeks at sea.) State the Immediate Problem (D): Building on the hardship, the narrative focuses on the most critical challenge: lack of supplies. • D. He realized that his meager provisions were dangerously low, barely enough for another two days of travel. (This creates the peak of the conflict/despair.) Introduce the Turning Point (B): This sentence uses the phrase "Just as despair began to settle in," which directly connects back to the fear mentioned in (D). This is the key transition. • B. Just as despair began to settle in, a distant, faint green smudge appeared against the blue expanse. (This introduces the solution/hope.) Describe the Reaction (F): The mariner's physical and emotional reaction must immediately follow the sighting of the land/smudge. • F. A surge of hope and adrenaline coursed through him, revitalizing his weary muscles. (This describes the immediate emotional response to the sighting in B.) Conclude with the Action (A): The final action is setting the course, which is the logical end of the sequence that began with the feeling of hope. • A. Carefully, he adjusted the frayed sails, setting a direct course toward the promising sight. (This is the final, purposeful action directed towards the "green smudge" from B.)
