Rearranging Sentences for Meaningful Paragraph

The objective is to arrange the given five sentences, labeled A, B, C, D, and E, into a sequence that forms a coherent and meaningful paragraph. After establishing the correct order, the task is to identify which sentence occupies the fourth position.

Analyzing Individual Sentences

Let's examine each sentence to understand its content and potential role in the paragraph:

  • Sentence A: Starts with "So," indicating it likely serves as a concluding statement, summarizing previous points about trees. It calls trees a "beautiful and useful gift of nature."
  • Sentence B: Focuses on wildlife, stating that many wild animals live in forests and depend on trees for their needs. This highlights another benefit or role of trees.
  • Sentence C: States a key function of trees – releasing oxygen, which is essential for life. This is a direct benefit of trees.
  • Sentence D: Describes trees as selfless entities, stating, "They only know to give not to take." This emphasizes their giving nature.
  • Sentence E: Introduces the main theme by stating that Earth gives many gifts, and trees are one of them. This sentence acts as a perfect introduction or topic sentence.

Step-by-Step Sentence Arrangement

To create a logical flow, we follow these steps:

  1. Identify the Opening Sentence: Sentence E is the most logical starting point as it introduces the topic of trees as gifts from the Earth.

    Sequence so far: E

  2. Elaborate on the Topic: Following the introduction, the paragraph should explain *why* trees are considered gifts.
    • Sentence C explains a critical benefit: trees release oxygen necessary for life. This is a direct elaboration on the "gift" aspect.
    • Sentence D complements this by describing the selfless nature of trees ("only know to give"), reinforcing the idea of them being beneficial. It fits well after discussing oxygen release.
    • Sentence B adds another dimension to the trees' giving nature by mentioning their role in supporting wildlife. This logically follows the general statement in D about giving.

    Sequence so far: E, C, D, B

  3. Identify the Concluding Sentence: Sentence A begins with "So," signifying a summary or conclusion. It effectively wraps up the points made about trees being beneficial (providing oxygen, supporting wildlife) and calls them a "beautiful and useful gift."

    Final Sequence: E, C, D, B, A

The complete paragraph reads:

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. D: They only know to give not to take. B: Many of the wild lives live in forests and they get their all need from trees. A: So trees are a beautiful and useful gift of nature.

Identifying the Fourth Sentence

By arranging the sentences in the logical order E, C, D, B, A, we can easily identify the sentence in the fourth position.

The sequence is:

  1. E
  2. C
  3. D
  4. B
  5. A

The fourth sentence in the rearranged paragraph is Sentence B.
