Sentences of a paragraph are given below in jumbled order. Arrange the sentences in the correct order to form a meaningful and coherent paragraph.
A. I was almost drowned a dozen times; was nearly boiled alive and just missed being cremated.
B. Now, my well-being is simply the result of a careful and measured mode of living and perhaps the most astonishing thing is that three times in my youth I was rendered by illness a hopeless physical wreck and given up by physicians.
C. More than this, through ignorance, and light-heartedness, I got into all sorts of difficulties, dangers and scrapes from which I extricated myself as by enchantment.
D. But as I recall these incidents to my mind, I feel convinced that my preservation was not altogether accidental.
1.CADB
2.BADC
3.BCAD
4.DCAB
Correct Answer : 3
Solution :
Sentence B comes first as the author starts the discussion with the present scenario and explains the reason behind his/her well-being, i.e., careful mode of living. In the same sentence, the author draws the contrast and informs that in his/her youth, the author generally got into problems. Sentence C comes next and here, the author mentions amazement as to how he/she always somehow got out of that problem. Sentence A comes next where the author mentions some more examples of such problems. Sentence D comes last and concludes the passage.
So, the correct order is BCAD.
Hence, option (c) is the answer.
