At its first glance all the five options look related. Therefore, we will begin sequencing each sentence step by step.
Statement (e) looks like the opening statement: For millennia, people with hearing impairments encountered marginalization because it was believed that language could only be learned by hearing the spoken word. The idea is further expanded in sentence (c).
Marginalization is a form of prejudice. So the next sentence will be option (d) which speaks against this prejudice: Pushback against this prejudice began in the 16th century when Pushback against this prejudice began in the 16th century when Pedro Ponce de León created a formal sign language for the hearing impaired.
The next sentence will be sentence (a) because it begins with ‘his’. It is used for Pedro Ponce de León. So the sentence will be: His idea to use sign language was not a completely new idea as Native Americans used hand gestures to communicate with other tribes.
From above, option (b) is left out as an odd one out. This will be our answer.

Instructions: For the following questions answer them individuallyFive sentences related to a topic are given below. Four of them can be put together to form a meaningful and coherent paragraph. Identify the odd one out.1. Perhaps philosophers have been largely to blame for the indifference shown; their terms have often been needlessly difficult, their language obscure, and their ideas abstruse.2. They differ in their statement of the problem, in the purpose of the attempt, and in their methods of attempting the solution.3. Philosophers in general set out to solve the riddle of the universe.4. Others in observing the diversity of things in the universe wonder what is behind it all; they seek to go beyond mere appearances, and to investigate the nature of that behind the appearances, which they call the reality.5. Some will wonder how this marvelous universe ever came into existence, and will consider the question of the existence of things to be the problem of philosophy.

Read the following passage and answer the questions associated with each of them.The philosophical concept of transcendence was developed by the Greek philosopher Plato. He affirmed the existence of absolute goodness, which he characterized as something beyond description and as knowable ultimately only through intuition. Later religious philosophers, influenced by Plato, applied this concept of transcendence to divinity, maintaining that God can be neither described nor understood in terms that are taken from human experience. The doctrine that God is transcendent, in the sense of existing outside of nature, is a fundamental principle in the orthodox forms of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.The terms transcendent and transcendental were used in a more narrow and technical sense by scholastic philosophers late in the Middle Ages to signify concepts of unrestricted generality applying to all types oi thing. The Scholastic recognized six such transcendental concepts: essence, unity, goodness, truth, thing and something (Latin ens, unum, bonum, verum, res, and aliqui d) The German philosopher Immanuel Kant was the first to make a technical distinction between the terms transcendent and transcendental. Kant reserved the term transcendent for those entities such as God and the soul, which are thought to exist outside of human experience and are therefore unknowable; he used the term transcendental to signify a priori forms of thought that is, innate principles with which the mind gives form to its perceptions and makes experience intelligible . Kant applied the name transcendental philosophy to the study of pure mind and its a priori forms. Later German idealist philosophers who were influenced by Kani, particularly Johann Gottlieb Frchte, Fried-rich Wilhelm Joseph von Schelling, and Edmund Husserl, described their views as transcendental. Consequently, the term transcendentalism came to be applied almost exclusively to doctrines of metaphysical idealism.In its most specific usage, transcendentalism refers to a literary and philosophical movement that developed in the U.S. in the first half of the 19th century. While the movement was, in part, a reaction to certain 18th century rationalist doctrines, it was strongly influenced by Deism which, although rationalist, was opposed to Calvinist orthodoxy Transcendentalism also involved a rejection of the strict Puritan religious attitudes that were attitudes that were the heritage of New England, where the movement originated. In addition, it opposed the strict ritualism and dogmatic theology of all established religious institutions.More important, the transcendentalists were influenced by romanticism, especially such aspects as self-examination, the celebration of individualism and the extolling of the beauties of nature and humankind. Consequently, transcendentalist writers expressed semireligous feelings toward nature, as well as the creative process, and saw a direct connection, or correspondence, between the universe (macrocosm) and the individual soul (microcosm). In this view, divinity permeated all objects, animate or inanimate, and the purpose of human life was union with the so-called Over-Soul, Intuition, rather than reason, was regarded as the highest human faculty, Fulfillment of human potential could be accomplished through mysticism, or through an acute awareness of the beauty and truth of the surrounding natural world. This process was regarded as inherently individual, and all orthodox tradition was suspect. American transcendentalism began with the formation (1836) of the Transcendental Club in Boston. Among the leaders of the movement were the essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson, the feminist and social reformer Margaret Fuller, the preacher Theodore Parker, the educator Bronson Alcott, the philosopher William Ellery Channing, and the author and naturalist Henry David Thoreau.Q. All of the following are true from the passage EXCEPT?
