Sentence Rearrangement: Understanding the Logic

The task is to arrange the given five sentences (A, B, C, D, E) into a coherent and meaningful paragraph and identify the very first sentence. Let's analyze each sentence to determine the logical flow:

  • Sentence A: "So trees are a beautiful and useful gift of nature." The word "So" suggests this sentence is a concluding statement or follows from previous points. It summarizes the value of trees.
  • Sentence B: "Many of the wild lives live in forests and they get their all need from trees." This sentence highlights the importance of trees for wildlife, providing a specific supporting detail about their usefulness.
  • Sentence C: "Trees release oxygen which needs for our life." This sentence states a crucial benefit of trees for human life, presenting another supporting detail.
  • Sentence D: "They only know to give not to take." This sentence describes the selfless nature of trees ("They"). It likely follows sentences that explain what trees provide or expands on their characteristics.
  • Sentence E: "The earth which we call mother has given us many gifts, one of them is trees." This sentence introduces the main topic – trees as gifts from nature. It serves as a broad opening statement, setting the context for the subsequent sentences.

Identifying the First Sentence

To form a logical paragraph, we need a sentence that introduces the topic without relying on prior context.

  • Sentence E introduces the concept of Earth's gifts and specifically mentions trees. This makes it a suitable introductory sentence.
  • Sentences C and B provide specific examples or reasons why trees are beneficial gifts.
  • Sentence D describes the nature of trees, possibly elaborating on their giving nature mentioned implicitly in C and B.
  • Sentence A starts with "So," indicating it should come after the supporting details (like C, B, D) have been presented, summarizing why trees are indeed gifts.

Based on this analysis, the most logical order starts with the introduction of trees as gifts. Therefore, Sentence E is the most appropriate first sentence.

A possible logical order could be: E → C → B → D → A.

E. The earth which we call mother has given us many gifts, one of them is trees.
C. Trees release oxygen which needs for our life.
B. Many of the wild lives live in forests and they get their all need from trees.
D. They only know to give not to take.
A. So trees are a beautiful and useful gift of nature.

The first sentence in this logical arrangement is E.
