Ordering the Sentences for a Coherent Paragraph
The task involves arranging the given five sentences (A, B, C, D, E) into a logically flowing paragraph and identifying the sentence that comes fifth in the sequence.
Sentence Analysis and Logical Flow
Let's examine each sentence to understand its context and relationship with others:
- A. It is situated in Uttrakhand. This sentence provides a factual detail about a location, presumably Mussoorie, the ultimate destination.
- B. Last week, I went to Mussoorie with my parents. This sentence serves as an introduction, setting the scene for the entire narrative and mentioning the main destination. It's the most logical starting point.
- C. We traveled to Dehradun by train. This sentence describes the first part of the journey, detailing the travel to an intermediate location, Dehradun. It naturally follows the introductory sentence (B).
- D. In the afternoon we decided to go to Mussoorie by private car. This sentence states a decision made later in the day, concerning the travel from the intermediate location to the final destination.
- E. It was morning when we reached Dehradun. This sentence adds a temporal detail about arriving in Dehradun, elaborating on the journey described in sentence C.
Determining the Correct Sequence
To construct a meaningful paragraph, we need to establish a chronological and logical order:
- Sentence B starts the narrative by introducing the trip to Mussoorie.
- Sentence C follows chronologically, describing the initial travel to Dehradun.
- Sentence E continues the travelogue by specifying the arrival time in Dehradun (morning).
- Sentence A provides geographical information about Mussoorie (Uttarakhand). This detail fits well after reaching the transit city and before finalizing the plans for the next leg of the journey.
- Sentence D describes the decision made in the afternoon to travel to Mussoorie by private car. This decision logically follows the arrival in Dehradun and consideration of the destination's location.
Therefore, the most logical sequence for the sentences is B - C - E - A - D.
Identifying the Fifth Sentence in the Sequence
Based on the established order (B, C, E, A, D), the fifth sentence in the rearranged paragraph is Sentence D.
The complete rearranged paragraph is:
"Last week, I went to Mussoorie with my parents. We traveled to Dehradun by train. It was morning when we reached Dehradun. It is situated in Uttrakhand. In the afternoon we decided to go to Mussoorie by private car."
