Directions: Five sentences A, B, C, D, and E are given below, you need to rearrange the sentences so that the five sentences can together form a meaningful paragraph. A. It is situated in Uttrakhand.

Which of the following should be the FIRST sentence after rearrangement?
B
The question asks us to rearrange five given sentences (A, B, C, D, E) to form a coherent and meaningful paragraph, and then identify the first sentence of this rearranged paragraph.
Identifying the Introductory Sentence
To determine the first sentence, we look for a sentence that introduces the main topic or event. Let's analyze each sentence:
- A. It is situated in Uttrakhand. - This is a descriptive sentence, likely providing information about a place mentioned later.
- B. Last week, I went to Mussoorie with my parents. - This sentence introduces a personal event (a trip) and the main destination (Mussoorie). It serves as a good introductory statement.
- C. We traveled to Dehradun by train. - This describes a specific action during the trip, suggesting it follows an introduction.
- D. In the afternoon we decided to go to Mussoorie by private car. - This sentence details a decision about moving to Mussoorie, implying prior context.
- E. It was morning when we reached Dehradun. - This describes the arrival at an intermediate location, Dehradun, which logically follows the travel mentioned in C.
Sentence B clearly sets the context for the entire narrative by stating the main event and destination. Therefore, it is the most logical starting sentence.
Structuring the Paragraph Logically
Once we establish B as the first sentence, we can arrange the remaining sentences to ensure a smooth flow:
- B. Last week, I went to Mussoorie with my parents. - This initiates the story.
- C. We traveled to Dehradun by train. - This describes the first part of the journey, leading towards the region.
- E. It was morning when we reached Dehradun. - This sentence directly follows C, indicating the arrival at the intermediate destination.
- D. In the afternoon we decided to go to Mussoorie by private car. - After arriving in Dehradun, the next logical step is deciding to travel to the final destination, Mussoorie.
- A. It is situated in Uttrakhand. - This sentence provides geographical information about Mussoorie, fitting well after Mussoorie has been established as the destination.
The complete rearranged paragraph is: B, C, E, D, A.
Conclusion on the First Sentence
Based on the logical progression and the need for an introductory statement, sentence B is the correct starting sentence for the paragraph.
