Important Rules: Para Jumbles | English Language & Comprehension for SSC CGL PDF Download

Introduction

Creating pairs is an effective strategy when tackling Para jumbling questions. These pairs, known as "couples," must always remain together in the entire arrangement and cannot be separated. Understanding the concept of these six types of couples will significantly aid in identifying the correct answers.

Noun–Pronoun Hint

A fundamental guideline is that a noun precedes a pronoun. Therefore, when encountering a pronoun in sentences, the initial step is to establish the noun and then link both sentences together. Ensuring alignment in terms of gender and number between the noun and pronoun is crucial.

Cause (Reason) – Effect (Result) Hint

Evaluate whether there exists a cause and effect relationship between the sentences. If so, they should logically follow one another. Phrases like "if and then," "whenever," "because," "the cause is," "when and then," or "the reason is" typically denote cause and effect relationships.

Acronym Hint/full Form – Short Forms

This hint is pivotal as it involves both full forms and short forms. When encountering both in sentences, prioritize the sentence with the full form followed by the sentence with the abbreviation.

Chronology Hint

Occasionally, the paragraph may contain sentences discussing events related to timeframes, such as years, hours, or months. Words like "when," "before," "after," or "later" indicate a timeline. Arrange these words chronologically to construct a coherent paragraph.

Common Sentence To Specific Sentence Hint

Some sentences in the paragraph offer general descriptions, while others provide specific details. Arrange the sentences by placing the general sentence first, followed by the specific one.

Question – Answer Hint

The paragraph includes a sentence posing a question and another sentence offering a solution. Place the question sentence before the one providing the solution in order to maintain coherence.
