Question
In the following question, four statements (A), (B), (C)
and (D) are given, two of which are at their correct positions and the positions of the other two have to be interchanged in order to form a meaningful paragraph. Choose the combination that needs to be interchanged. If no change is required, mark ‘No change required’ as your answer A. The purpose of ‘adjustment’ was to facilitate India’s integration into the global economy. B. Then, in 1991 came the dramatic announcement of a new economic policy, accompanied by a package of steps to be taken for ‘structural adjustment’ of the Indian economy. C. When liberalisation of the economy started to receive common consent in the mid-1980s, few people thought of examining what it would mean for education. D. Even then, education didn’t receive specific attention.Solution
A cannot be the first sentence of the passage clearly, as it talks about some purpose which is not discussed earlier. C should come at the first place, as it gives the foundation of the discussion; telling us about liberalisation in the mid-1980s and how perhaps no one thought it would benefit in education sector. B comes second, correctly placed, letting us know about the new economic policy of 1991 and how taking steps was necessary for ‘structural adjustment’ of the Indian economy. A should come at third, as it tells the necessity of such structural adjustments. D correctly concludes the passage. AC is the pair to be interchanged.
