Arranging Jumbled Sentences about Jamawar Fabric
The question asks us to arrange four jumbled sentences (A, B, C, D) into a meaningful and coherent paragraph. To do this, we need to identify the topic sentence, find logical connections between sentences, and determine the flow of ideas.
Analyzing the Sentences
- Sentence A: The word Jama means ‘a robe or shawl’ and War means ‘Yard (the measuring unit)’. This sentence defines the parts of the word "Jamawar". It likely follows a sentence that introduces the word "Jamawar".
- Sentence B: Jamawar (also spelled as Jamavar) is a fabric that has its roots in Kashmir. This sentence introduces the subject, "Jamawar", and its origin. This is a strong candidate for the opening sentence of the paragraph.
- Sentence C: People in the earlier times used to buy a yard of the shawl to protect themselves from the chilly winter. This sentence describes the historical use of the fabric, specifically mentioning "a yard of the shawl". This connects to the meaning of "War" (Yard) and "Jama" (robe or shawl) mentioned in sentence A. It should logically follow sentence A.
- Sentence D: The Jamawar is an adulterated form of Pashmina silk since it contains a blend of cotton and wool. This sentence provides details about the composition of Jamawar fabric. It gives additional information about the fabric introduced in sentence B. It could come towards the end after the basic introduction and naming are covered.
Finding the Logical Order
Based on the analysis:
- Sentence B introduces the topic, Jamawar fabric. It's the most suitable starting sentence.
- Sentence A explains the meaning of the components of the word "Jamawar". This logically follows the introduction of the word itself.
- Sentence C relates the historical use of the fabric ("a yard of the shawl") to the meaning of the word parts explained in sentence A ("Yard" and "robe or shawl"). This sentence naturally follows A.
- Sentence D provides further detail about the composition of the Jamawar fabric. It fits well as a concluding piece of information after the fabric is introduced and its name explained.
Putting it together, the logical flow is B $\rightarrow$ A $\rightarrow$ C $\rightarrow$ D.
Constructing the Paragraph
The sentences arranged in the order BACD would read:
Jamawar (also spelled as Jamavar) is a fabric that has its roots in Kashmir. The word Jama means ‘a robe or shawl’ and War means ‘Yard (the measuring unit)’. People in the earlier times used to buy a yard of the shawl to protect themselves from the chilly winter. The Jamawar is an adulterated form of Pashmina silk since it contains a blend of cotton and wool.
This arrangement forms a coherent paragraph that introduces Jamawar, explains its name's origin and meaning, provides historical context related to the name, and finally describes its material composition.
Evaluating Other Options
- DCBA: Starts with composition (D), then historical use (C), then introduction (B), then word origin (A). Illogical beginning and flow.
- DCAB: Starts with composition (D), then historical use (C), then word origin (A), then introduction (B). Illogical beginning and flow.
- BCAD: Starts with introduction (B), then historical use (C), then word origin (A), then composition (D). While B is a good start, C comes before A which defines the terms 'Jama' and 'War' that are referenced implicitly in C ("a yard of the shawl"). BACD is a smoother transition.
Therefore, the order BACD is the most logical and forms a coherent paragraph.
Revision Table: Jamawar Sentence Order
| Sentence | Content Summary | Logical Place |
|---|---|---|
| B | Introduces Jamawar and its origin (Kashmir). | Beginning |
| A | Explains the meaning of 'Jama' and 'War'. | After B, explaining the name. |
| C | Relates historical use to the name's meaning ('yard', 'shawl'). | After A, providing context for the terms. |
| D | Describes the composition of Jamawar. | Towards the end, giving further detail. |
Additional Information: Paragraph Coherence & Jamawar
Paragraph Coherence: A coherent paragraph flows smoothly from one sentence to the next. Ideas are logically connected, often using transition words or phrases, or by repeating key terms and concepts. In this example, the coherence is achieved by building upon the introduction of Jamawar (B) by explaining its name (A), then relating the name to historical use (C), and finally adding descriptive detail (D).
Jamawar Fabric: Jamawar is traditionally a fine wool fabric produced in Kashmir, known for its intricate patterns, often woven using the tapestry technique. While historically made of pure Pashmina wool, variations containing blends with cotton or other fibers exist, as mentioned in the sentence D. The mention of "yard" and "shawl" highlights its traditional use as a large protective garment.
