    I. She rang (A) up the sale and then pushy (B) under several encouraged (C) of paper for something to put it in.

    II. Her parents were never searched (D) although they piles (E) her acting ambitions from (F) an early age.

    Solutions

    ‘encouraged of papers’ doesn’t make any sense. ‘piles of paper’ can hide something under them. So, C & E should be exchanged. Since only option A has C-E as a part of its answer, the correct answer is A.

  • Question 2/10
    1 / -0.25

    Directions For Questions

    Direction: Given below are five statements A, B, C, D, and E, which when arranged in the correct order, form a coherent and meaningful paragraph. Rearrange the statements in a proper sequence to form a meaningful paragraph, and then answer the questions that follow.

    A) Local conservation groups, who oppose the fish farms and only learned of the breach on Sunday, have warned the sea lions themselves are in danger the longer they spend inside the farm.

    B) An aquaculture giant with operations in Norway, Chile and Canada, says the wily predators were able to evade netting and electric fences in late March as part of a “breach event” at the Rant Point farm near Tofino in British Columbia.

    C) “We witnessed the sea lion going over one of the fences jumping right into a ‘bird net’, which is suspended net above the pens. He struggled for quite some time to free himself,” said a local environmental group member. “There’s a lot of ropes and hoses around, so we’re increasingly concerned about entanglement.”

    D) Dozens of thieving sea lions in western Canada have spent the last few weeks gorging on fish after brazenly slipping into an industrial salmon farm – and ignoring all attempts to make them move on.

    E) In little more than a decade, more than 100 sea lions have drowned after getting tangled in fish farm nets, as has one humpback whale, highlighting the dangers the farms and their nets pose to local wildlife.

    Which of the following will become the LAST statement in the rearranged series?

    Solutions

    To start rearranging the paragraph, we need to locate the theme of the passage. This is being stated by statement D that introduces thieving sea lions. The next statement will be statement B which elaborates on the event, and how the sea lions were able to enter the farm in the first place. This will be followed by statement C, which continues along the same lines, and elaborates on the events further by bringing in direct quotes from witnesses. The two remaining statements make a specific and a general statement about the dangers that fish farms pose to sea lions. Of these, the specific statement, statement A, will come first, with the generic one, statement E, acting as a conclusion to the passage. Thus, the rearranged sequence of the paragraph will be DBCAE.
