    Paragraph Formation:

    1. Some money had to be sent to my parents.
    2. Therefore, I went to the bank to withdraw some money.
    3. However, I had no money with me.
    4. After that, I spent almost an hour at the Post Office.
    5. I reached office at 11 O clock after sending the money.

    Explanation:
    The second sentence in the paragraph should be "Therefore, I went to the bank to withdraw some money." This is because the first sentence mentions that some money had to be sent to the author's parents, which implies that the author did not have the required amount of money with them. Therefore, the author had to go to the bank to withdraw the money before sending it to their parents.

    The third sentence then explains that the author had no money with them at the time they went to the bank. This sets up the context for the fourth sentence, which describes how the author spent almost an hour at the Post Office. Finally, the paragraph ends with the first sentence describing how the author reached the office at 11 O'clock after sending the money.

    Therefore, the correct sequence of sentences to form a meaningful paragraph is: 2-5-3-4-1.

    2. Thinking that he was really sick, his father summoned the family doctor.
    1. After examining him, the doctor smiled at him mischievously and took out a syringe.
    4. Immediately, Mintu jumped up from his bed and swore that he was fine.

    Explanation:
    The paragraph talks about a boy named Mintu who wanted to take a day off from school, so he pretended to be sick and remained in bed. His father, thinking that he was really sick, summoned the family doctor. After examining him, the doctor smiled at him mischievously and took out a syringe. Immediately, Mintu jumped up from his bed and swore that he was fine.

    Hence, the correct sequence of sentences to form a meaningful paragraph is 3-5-2-1-4. The fourth sentence should come after the first sentence, as it provides the outcome of the doctor's examination.

    4. However, I had no money with me.
    5. I reached office at 11 o'clock after sending the money.

    Explanation:
    The paragraph talks about a sequence of events that took place in the past. The correct sequence of sentences to form a coherent paragraph is as follows:

    Sentence 2 talks about the author spending almost an hour at the Post Office, indicating that he had to perform some task at the Post Office.

    Sentence 1 talks about the author sending some money to his parents, which could be the task he performed at the Post Office, as sending money can be done through the Post Office.

    Sentence 3 talks about the author going to the bank to withdraw some money, which could be the reason why he sent money to his parents in the first place.

    Sentence 4 talks about the author not having any money with him, which is why he had to go to the bank to withdraw some.

    Sentence 5 talks about the author reaching the office at 11 o'clock after sending the money, which indicates that he had to perform all these tasks before going to the office.

    Hence, the correct sequence of sentences is 2-1-3-4-5, and the sentence that should come fifth in the paragraph is sentence 1.

      • c)
        rsqp
      • d)
        sqrp
      Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

      Understanding the Sentence Structure
      To form a coherent and meaningful sentence, we need to analyze the components given:
      - First Part: "A number of measures"
      - Last Part: "of the Municipal Corporations."
      We need to identify how the parts p, q, r, and s can connect logically and grammatically.
      Analyzing the Parts
      - p. The financial conditions.
      - q. For mobilisation of resources
      - r. In order to improve
      - s. Are being taken by the State Governments
      Logical Connections
      1. Starting with the Subject: The subject "A number of measures" indicates actions being taken.
      2. Identifying the Action: The phrase "Are being taken by the State Governments" (s) fits well after the subject, as it indicates who is implementing the measures.
      3. Purpose of the Measures: "In order to improve" (r) logically follows the action, as it explains why these measures are being taken.
      4. Specific Focus: "For mobilisation of resources" (q) can logically follow "In order to improve," as it specifies the goal of the improvement.
      5. Completing the Thought: Finally, "the financial conditions" (p) concludes the sentence by indicating what is being improved.
      Correct Arrangement
      The arrangement that maintains logical flow and grammatical correctness is sqrp:
      - s: "Are being taken by the State Governments"
      - q: "For mobilisation of resources"
      - r: "In order to improve"
      - p: "The financial conditions."
      Final Sentence
      Thus, the complete sentence reads: "A number of measures are being taken by the State Governments for mobilisation of resources in order to improve the financial conditions of the Municipal Corporations."
      This arrangement successfully conveys the intended message in a clear and structured manner.

      In the traditions of many religions throughout the world (including Judaeo – Christian beliefs), there has long been a sustained belie that the Universe as we know it today did not exist forever in the past, and that there was a spontaneous act which gave birth to all that has been, and all that will be. In other words, the Universe itself has not been eternal as our senses might indicates at first glance, …

      • c)
        however, on second glance, our religious beliefs are right.
      • d)
        however, it is a ball of intense energy
      Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

      Kiran Nambiar answered
      Understanding the Sentence Context
      The sentence discusses the belief held in various religions that the Universe was created rather than being eternal. This implies a concept of time and existence where the Universe had a beginning and possibly a limited lifespan.
      Analysis of Options
      - a) but has a limited lifespan after its creation.
      - This option aligns perfectly with the concept of the Universe not being eternal. It acknowledges the idea that after a creation event, the Universe may eventually come to an end, supporting the notion of a finite existence.
      - b) but our senses give us the right knowledge.
      - This option contradicts the initial premise. If the Universe is not eternal, relying solely on sensory perception for understanding would be misleading, making this option irrelevant.
      - c) however, on second glance, our religious beliefs are right.
      - While it seems to affirm religious beliefs, it does not logically complete the thought about the Universe's nature. It lacks a connection to the idea of creation and time.
      - d) however, it is a ball of intense energy.
      - This statement touches on a scientific viewpoint but does not address the temporal aspect of the Universe. It does not complete the sentence effectively, as it distracts from the central theme of existence and creation.
      Conclusion
      Thus, option 'a' is the most appropriate completion, as it reinforces the belief in a created Universe with a finite lifespan, coherently tying back to the idea presented in the initial statement.

      It is a curious historical fact that modern quantum mechanics began with two quite different mathematical formulations: the different equation of Schroedinger, and the matrix algebra of Heisenberg. The two, apparently dissimilar, approaches were proved to be mathematically equivalent.
      Which of the following sentences would most meaningfully follow the above paragraph?
      • a)
        The two approaches did not start with the same mathematical formulations.
      • b)
        These two points of view were destined to complement one another and were ultimately synthesized in Dirac’s transformation theory.
      • c)
        A third mathematical formulation given by Feynman combines the matrix algebra of Heisenberg and Integral calculus of Leibniz.
      • d)
        Quantum mechanics evolved in the twentieth century and came very close to particle physics, especially after the CERN experiments in Switzerland.
      Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

      Isha Sen answered
      Explanation:

      Complementing and Synthesizing Different Approaches
      - The paragraph highlights the initial divergence in the mathematical formulations of quantum mechanics through the Schroedinger equation and Heisenberg's matrix algebra.
      - Despite their apparent differences, these approaches were later proven to be equivalent mathematically.
      - This convergence of seemingly disparate methods paved the way for a deeper understanding of quantum mechanics.

      Dirac's Transformation Theory
      - Dirac's transformation theory played a crucial role in reconciling the Schroedinger equation and Heisenberg's matrix algebra.
      - By synthesizing these two perspectives, Dirac was able to provide a more comprehensive framework for understanding quantum mechanics.
      - This theory represented a significant advancement in the field and showcased the power of integrating different mathematical approaches.

      Significance of Synthesis in Quantum Mechanics
      - The synthesis of various mathematical formulations in quantum mechanics, as exemplified by Dirac's work, demonstrates the importance of collaboration and integration in scientific progress.
      - By combining different viewpoints and methodologies, researchers can uncover new insights and deepen their understanding of complex phenomena.
      - The evolution of quantum mechanics through the integration of diverse mathematical approaches underscores the dynamic and interdisciplinary nature of scientific inquiry.

      In the sentence structure provided, we need to create a coherent message regarding behavior, apologies, and the complexities of forgiveness.

      Understanding the Order
      To analyze the correct order, let's break down each part:
      - **1. You could behave badly, say you were sorry,**
      This sets the stage for discussing behavior and apologies.
      - **iv. You would get extra fun and be reinstated**
      This logically follows the apology, suggesting that apologizing might lead to a positive outcome.
      - **ii. In the same position**
      This phrase implies a comparison or situation where others might find themselves similarly.
      - **v. As the one who had done nothing**
      This complements the previous part by introducing a contrasting viewpoint about innocence versus guilt.
      - **i. Who now had both to suffer the crime**
      This emphasizes the burden of being innocent yet affected by another’s wrongdoing.
      - **iii. And the difficulty of forgiving**
      This concludes the thought by highlighting the emotional struggle involved in forgiving someone who has wronged you.

      Constructing the Sentence
      Putting these segments together, the coherent flow becomes:
      1. You could behave badly, say you were sorry,
      2. You would get extra fun and be reinstated,
      3. In the same position,
      4. As the one who had done nothing,
      5. Who now had both to suffer the crime,
      6. And the difficulty of forgiving.
      7. With no goodies in addition at all.

      Final Order
      Thus, the correct order is:
      **1, iv, ii, v, i, iii, 6** (option 'D')
      This arrangement creates a logical progression from behavior to the complexities of forgiveness and emotional consequences.

        Understanding the Sequence
        The correct arrangement of the sentences is crucial for creating a coherent paragraph about the dynamics of influence.
        Sentence Breakdown
        - A discusses how individuals often misinterpret influence, emphasizing the need to deliver value to the other person.
        - B highlights that many people lack a clear strategy when influencing unresponsive individuals or groups.
        - C explains the common mistake of focusing on what one values rather than what the other party cares about.
        - D notes that in such situations, individuals tend to overemphasize the merits of their own desires.
        Logical Flow of Ideas
        1. Starting Point - Lack of Understanding (B)
        The paragraph begins with B because it sets the context of people struggling to influence others who are not responsive.
        2. Common Mistakes in Influence (D)
        Following B, D elaborates on the typical reaction of individuals when faced with unresponsiveness, indicating they often emphasize their desires too much.
        3. Misalignment in Value Perception (A)
        Next, A ties into the previous sentences by explaining that people do not see influence as an exchange, which leads to misunderstanding how to effectively deliver value.
        4. Emphasizing the Other's Perspective (C)
        Finally, C concludes the paragraph by reinforcing the idea that successful influence must appeal to the interests of the other party.
        Conclusion
        Thus, the sequence D-B-A-C effectively illustrates the misunderstanding of influence, the common pitfalls encountered, and the necessity to cater to the other party's values for successful communication.

          Read the following excerpt carefully.

          In the future, hydrogen may form a significant part of our energy systems. Today it is mostly used in oil refineries and fertiliser but in the future hydrogen could power our cars, heat our homes, and fuel industry. A recent McKinsey study suggested that in less than 25 years, hydrogen could account for 18% of global energy consumption and reduce carbon dioxide emissions from current levels by some 6 gigatons….
          Which of the following sentences will MOST logically complete the above excerpt?
          • a)
            The impact of such a change in the energy system would be huge, potentially generating $2,500 billion in revenue globally and creating more than 30 million jobs.
          • b)
            Despite the potential, 90% of the general population knew nothing about hydrogen technology.
          • c)
            Germany unsuccessfully experimented with trains fuelled by hydrogen.
          • d)
            Hydrogen can be made through reformation, electrolysis, or pyrolysis, comes labelled in different colours from simple green to more complicated turquoise, can be stored as a gas, cryogenic liquid, converted to ammonia or even borane and then finally made useful through a fuel cell, engine, or burner.
