The ‘Court’ referred to in sentences A and D is, clearly, the International Criminal Court mentioned in sentence C. So, C precedes A and D, as it sets the context.

Sentence C talks of Africans becoming “suspicious"? due to the International Criminal Court’s record of juridical interventions in Africa. What follows C? Both A and D seem to be good choices. Only sentence B seems completely unrelated to C.

Sentence A states that it is “no less concerning"? that the Court acts in cooperation with its “North Atlantic backers"?. Sentence D too makes a reference to “that concern"?, saying that the Court’s first extra-African investigation does not do much to soothe it. Further, D states that the South Ossetia investigation is “of a piece with" (similar to) the Court’s earlier interventions in Africa. Why so? There is no explanation to this in sentence C. But the reference to the concern that the Court acts in concert with its North Atlantic backers, stated in sentence A, does provide the link. It is clear D follows A. Note that sentence C merely talks of a suspicion, it is sentence A that brings up the “concern"? and D elaborates on that concern.

Sentence B sheds light on why investigation in South Ossetia, the first one outside of Africa, is “of a piece with"? the Court’s earlier interventions. It reproduces the Western narrative of Russian aggression.

CADB makes a cogent paragraph.

The question is " Arrange the sentences in the correct order "
The order is CADB

Hence, the answer is CADB
Choice A is the correct answer.

Sentence B talks of liberalism and how it decried government interference in markets. Notice that of the given sentences, B is the only sentence in past tense. It is likely that B is the first sentence of the paragraph.

Now, considering the other three, the only sentence that links to B is D, which talks of neo-liberalism and how it believes in government intervention in markets, on the side of banks and financial institutions. D follows B, presenting the contrast between the two views.

Sentence A talks of governments being expected to “save banks and financial institutions"? when there is a crisis due to “financial speculation"?. This relates to neo-liberalism.

Sentence C refers to a “major shift"?. What shift? The shift in thinking that governments should intervene in markets to favor financial institutions. So, C follows the sentence group BD.

Now, while both A and C make sense immediately after D, C is a better choice to complete the paragraph, compared to A. Sentence A adds to D, providing more information on neo-liberalist thinking. C, on the other hand, sums up the key idea of the paragraph that neo-liberalism is very different from liberalism.

The question is " Arrange the sentences in the correct order "
The order is BDAC

Hence, the answer is BDAC
Choice D is the correct answer.

Sentences A and C are both contenders for the first sentence of the paragraph.

The example given in B fits both A and C well.

BD is a link, as D relates to Facebook employees' concern relating to the censorship tool built by the company.

However, A doesn't make sense after C, or C after A, as both these are general statements and do not logically follow from one another.

So, we have two possibilities-- ABDC or CBDA.

Now, if A were to be the first sentence of the paragraph, does C conclude it well? Sentence A questions the means followed in the name of the mission to make "the world more open and connected". The unit BD gives an example to support this. The main idea here is that it is time to ponder over "what mission you're really serving" when you have reached the point of compromising on the very idea on which the grand mission is based. Sentence C, however, does not conclude this paragraph well, as it lays the emphasis on grand ends "making it easy" to justify unsavory means. This is an idea that is implicit in sentence A.

On the other hand, if C were to be the first sentence, the main idea of the paragraph is that having "grand" ends makes it easy for a company to justify unsavory means. The Facebook example in the unit BD supports this. Sentence D states the argument by Zuckerberg that being part of any conversation is good, even if it's "not yet the full conversation". Sentence A points out the elephant in the room-- that the company is enabling censorship by an authoritarian regime in the name of making the world more "open".

In terms of flow of ideas CBDA is a much better order than ABDC. So, CBDA is the right order.

The question is " Arrange the sentences in the correct order "
The order is CBDA

Hence, the answer is CBDA
Choice D is the correct answer.

D and E are the only possibilities to begin the paragraph.

Sentence D states that "luckily" there are bacterial parts not found or different from those in humans. Now, of the given sentences, only B seems to relate to the idea of bacterial cells not being identical to human cells. B seems to draw a conclusion based on information stated in D. So, DB is a link.

Now consider sentence E. It talks of how antiseptics work by killing microbes on the skin and tissue surfaces. We see that sentence C too refers to antiseptics. But the idea in C that antiseptics make terrible antibiotics is not obvious from E. Which of the given sentences explains why antiseptics make terrible antibiotics? Only A does: while "these chemicals" break an essential part of a bacterial cell, they also damage human cells in the process. EAC is a link.

Now, EACDB is a better order than DBEAC, as the flow of ideas in the former is more logical. Antiseptics are relatively easy to find, but the way they work means that they cannot be used in high concentrations. But luckily, some parts of bacterial cells are different from human cells and this is the fact that antibiotics exploit.

The question is " Arrange the sentences in the correct order "
The order is EACDB

Hence, the answer is EACDB
Choice A is the correct answer.

All four sentences given talk of the painter Magritte. Sentence D is the only one that states his full name: René Magritte. So, this is the starting sentence of the paragraph.

Sentence D describes the painting, "“The Treachery of Images". Now, both C and A refer to the painting: C states what inspired Margritte "in painting this", while A states what Margritte achieved with the help of his iconic painting. But clearly, the pronoun reference--this-- in C relates to the painting described in D. So, C follows immediately after D.

Now, Sentence B states what Magritte wanted to prove, whereas A states what he did prove with his painting. So, A follows B.

DCBA is the right order.

The question is " Arrange the sentences in the correct order "
The order is DCBA

Hence, the answer is DCBA
Choice D is the correct answer.

• The first statement talks about how she (Mohini) scored full marks on her exam, while the second statement talks about how she would not be permitted to participate in her annual day.  
• It would not make sense that even though she already scored full marks on her exam that someone would not allow her to participate in an extra-curricular activity (annual day). 
• It would be more logical to assume that if it so happened that Mohini did not score full marks on her exam she would not be allowed to participate in the annual day. 
  • 'Unless' is a connector used to introduce an exception. 
  • One statement is the truth, except for in the following scenario. 

Thus, the final statement will be: 'Unless she scored full marks in her exam, Mohini would not be allowed to participate in the annual day.'

Shall we buy a book or a toy?

We went to the park, but we did not have time for the museum.

The sentence is certainly not correct in its present form and some change is required to be carried out in this statement. Therefore, option E can be ruled out from our consideration.

Here, if we see option A, with the interchanging of B-D, it will not make any sense and therefore, there is no need to check the other pair given in this option. This option can be eliminated. Coming to option B, it is not correct also. If we check C, it is correct as with this, we are getting a meaningful sentence and it may be said that this pair will be there in our correct choice. There is another option with this pair i.e. Option D. But, if we carry out the interchanging of the pair B-C, it will not make any sense. Hence, it cannot be our choice. This means only A-D should be interchanged.

The correct statement would be:

Since the liberalisation of capital flows in 1991, India has always faced a current account deficit but inflows of capital have allowed the country to have a stable balance of payments (BoP).

This makes option C the correct choice among the given options.

If we go through the given statement, it is not correct since it is not making any sense though it may seem that with some changes, the sentence would imply something. Here, we have to understand the context of the statement which is talking about the action to be taken by the Union Minister against others.  

Now, coming to the options, option A can be ruled out since it is clear that with this option being implemented, the resultant statement would not make any sense whatsoever. With option B also, the same may be said since it is also not making any sense. Option C can be ruled out since it does imply anything. Option D is our pick since if we interchange the words according to this option, the resultant statement will make sense.

The correct statement would be:

Union minister M.J. Akbar threatened to take legal action against several women journalists who had accused him of sexual harassment at two newspapers where he had been editor.

This makes option D the correct choice among the given options.

The correct option is D.
Leadership is an individual's ability. 
It is neither technique nor tactic
It is also not power as discussed in previous questions it is not stats or superiority or power. So the best suitable word is ability.
Ability is possession of the means or skill to do something.

The correct option is A.
As discussed, leadership is one's ability to do things and a person can do something with the help of its resources. So here the best suitable word is resources.
Resource is an action or strategy which may be adopted in adverse circumstances.

The correct option is B.
Leadership is an individual ability and is proportional to an individual's own personal resources to get people to do as he wishes.
A person can do whatever he wishes with the help of his ability and resources. 

The correct option is B.
Leadership can motivate a person to do what he is willing to do.
Thus motivate is the most suitable word here.

The correct option is B.
Thus leadership can stimulate and motivate people to get their willingness and commitment for achieving the proposed objectives of the organization. This means that a person gets motivated and committed to his objectives.

The original statement is incorrect due to as restored does not make sense. Investment would help in restoring an economy and not with an already restored economy. Also, tense of undertake is incorrect.

Option A: Slowing is opposite to the correct meaning and is incorrect.

Option C: Shouting does not make sense as the first word. The other twowords also do not make sense in the statement due to being incorrect in terms of meaning.

Option D: Assuaged means relieved and does not fit in contextually. Also, overlooked is opposite of the correct meaning.

Option B: All the words fit in well.

Hence, option B is correct.

Laughing stock means when someone or something that seems stupid or silly, especially by trying to be serious or important and not succeeding.
Example-
If you say that a person or an organization has become a laughing stock, you mean that they are supposed to be important or serious but have been made to seem ridiculous.

The idiom 'to have an axe to grind' means to have a private reason for doing or being involved in something.

‘Tensile’ needs to be replaced with ‘pensive’ to make the sentence meaningful. Tensile refers to any material that is capable of being stretched or ductile. To be pensive be in a deep or melancholic mood, to be lost in thoughts. To be convulsive means to be in a state of having convulsions – which are involuntary muscle movements. To be conclusive means to be related to conclusions. Any of the other options apart from ‘pensive’ does make sense in the sentence. 

The correct answer is Option 2, i.e., 'infested'.

The given sentence needs improvement because to 'ingest' is to 'swallow', which makes no sense in the given context.

To be 'acquainted with' someone is to be friendly with them.

If a place is said to be 'infested with' a certain type of animals, insects, etc. it means there are a lot of them in that place.

To be 'contested' is to be a subject of disagreement or dispute.

Thus, out of the given options, 'infested' is the correct answer- it is both grammatically and contextually correct.

The correct sentence will be 'My kitchen is infested with rats'.

The original sentence is incorrect.

Here, apostrophe ( ' ) is missing between 'minister' and 'visit'. 

Secondly, as the past participle 'scheduled' is used in the sentence, the verb 'is' should be used right before it to make it a grammatically correct sentence. 

The correct sentence will be:

No traffic will be allowed in this area since the minister's visit is scheduled today.

Hence, option C is correct.

The sentence is absolutely correct. There is nothing to be improved in the sentence.

Rule:

• Annoyed (with) is used while referring to persons/ people.
• Annoyed (at) is used while referring to other things.

Hence, option E is the correct answer.
