Sentence Rearrangement – Basic
Concept
As the word suggests, sentence rearrangement
refers to re-arranging a bunch of lines, which
are presented in a jumbled manner in the
question. Candidates need to arrange the
sentences in the correct order and then answer
the questions related to the same.
The theme, topic or the area from which the
jumbled sentences may be picked is
miscellaneous and candidates need to analyse
the statements carefully to answer the question.
The questions asked may be of various types:
The correct order of all the statements
The correct order of any one statement
To detect the first statement of the
passage
To detect the last statement of the
passage, and so on
The more a candidate practises, the more
efficient he/she shall get in solving the jumbled
statements.

candidates strengthen their grammatical skills:

Questions
There are basically 4 formats in which the
parajumble questions can be asked in the
various competitive exams:
1. The Basic Format: This is the format where
all the statements are given in a jumbled
form and candidates need to arrange all
the statements logically.
2. Static First Statement: In the second type
of format for parajumbles, the first
statement is given as static and
candidates have to arrange the other
statements logically, such that the first
statement remains constant.
3. Static Last Statement: Just like a static first
statement, the last statement given can
also be static and candidates need to
arrange the other sentences to make the
paragraph logical, with the last sentence
constant.
4. Static First and Last Statement: The first
and last statement can be static and
candidates are required to arrange the
leftover sentences between these two
statements to make it logically correct.
It must also be noted that with the increase in
competition, the conducting bodies keep
enhancing the level of questions asked. The
topics are the same but the standard of
questions tend to change.
Thus, it is important that a candidate effectively
understands the concept and its basics well to
be able to answer it in any format.

various Government exams, candidates can

Correct Approach To Solve Sentence
Rearrangement Questions
There are multiple mistakes that a candidate
can make while answering questions from the
sentence rearrangement topic. So, solving the
questions with the correct approach shall help
candidates answer the parajumbles without
making errors.
Tips and tricks to solve sentence rearrangement
questions are as given below:
1. Read all the given statements carefully
and analyse the common point between
them and then start rearranging them.
2. Refer to a pattern that may be given in the
statement.
3. Try relating the words given like, yet, but,
when, then, they, anyway, etc. This will give
you a clearer idea of how the sentences
can be rearranged.
4. Candidates with stronger vocabulary are
more likely to solve the question quicker as
understanding the meanings of every
word given in each sentence will help in
arranging the statements.
5. Paragraphs with one static statement are
comparatively easier to crack as you get
an idea as to how the theme starts to
evolve or how it shall end.
6. Once you think you are done with
arranging the statements correctly, re-
read the entire passage to ensure that it is
logically correct.
Further below, we have given some sample
questions for reference and to help you
understand the concept even better.
