    Which of the following should be the LAST (SIXTH) sentence after rearrangement?
    Solutions
    The passage will be formed by arranging the sentences of a story. Thus, after arranging the given sentences in a chronological order, the correct sequence is DAFCEB. 
    Akbar is required to meet the sage before anything further happens in the story, so D is obviously the introductory statement. The next course of action after making the decision would be instructing the stable master, so A is the next statement. F is the next statement as it tells about the actions of the stable master after the instructions were given from the king. C follows F then as it tells the consequence of the actions done by the stable master in the previous statement. E then comes next as it is obvious that the king will find the sage walking only after meeting him again. B is the final statement as it talks about the final punishment given to the stable master as the horse was so weak that he died on the same night it was gifted to the sage.
