1. AB is the most important clue here. This link is present in options [b], [d] and [e]. A follows C as it refers to how
the family paid a tout. D follows as it mentions what the tout did. The result of the tout escaping is present in B.
Thus, CADB. Hence [b]
2. B starts the paragraph by introducing the writer’s opinion. D follows B as D clarifies B. The outcome of the
dialogue is in C and A. Thus, BDCA. Hence [c]
3. Starting with D, the next sentence is clearly A as it refers to the ‘problem’ mentioned in D. C follows A as C
elaborates the problem of the states. ‘In turn’ in B is the clue word here that makes it follow C. Thus, DACB. Hence
[e]
4. AC is the most obvious link. A talks about the unpopularity of politics and C refers to it in the American context
and its results. D comes next as it mentions that people are turning to the private sector instead of public service. B
concludes by giving a similar example by comparing the existing situation with rest of the world. Thus, ACDB.
Hence [c]
5. Ancient Rome is compared to Rome of 500 years later. A starts the sequence. C describes the design of ‘pockets’.
B comes next with the current status of pockets. Thus, the CB link. ‘New Stuff’ is carried forward in D. Thus,
ACBD. Hence [d]
6. Only C can open the paragraph B has to follow C-B states that because of the ‘symptoms’ mentioned in C, they
are treated for ‘chest ‘infection’. D states the effect of doing so. A, again, states the effect of D. Thus, we have
CBDAE. Hence [c]
7. D introduces the subject and should, therefore, begin the sequence. The DC link in [c] does not make sense, as the
pronoun ‘these’ in C has no precedent in D. option [a] is perfect since the DA link points out the problem, while E
states that there is a solution, which is confirmed by B. Thus, we have DAEBC. Hence [a]
8. The EC connection mentions what almost ruined the hopes of Modahl. The clue words in the sentences that give
us the link are ‘a thief’, ‘another theft’, ‘runner’, and ‘shoes’. B follows from C, as it elaborates on Modahl’s story.
A concludes the paragraph by giving details about the ‘latest’ theft in the line. Thus, we have DECBA. Hence [b]
9. ‘They’ in A refers to ‘birth parents’ in E. Clearly the sequence should start with D, and followed by B. ‘Her’ in B
refers to ‘Kajori Roy’ in D. Thus, DBEAC. Hence [b]
10. C is the introductory sentence as it is a general statement. ‘A’ gives the name of the man mentioned in C. Thus,
we get the CA link which is present only in [d]. B stateshow Harry did not change his decision and D states his
present condition. Hence [d]
