Rearranging Sentences for a Coherent Travel Narrative

The task is to organize the five provided sentences, labeled A through E, into a meaningful paragraph. We need to identify the sentence that correctly falls into the third position after rearranging them logically.

Sentence Analysis and Ordering Strategy:

Let's analyze each sentence to establish the most logical flow:

  • Sentence B: "Last week, I went to Mussoorie with my parents." This is a strong introductory sentence, setting the context of the narrative – a trip to Mussoorie.
  • Sentence A: "It is situated in Uttrakhand." This sentence provides a geographical detail about the destination mentioned in Sentence B. The pronoun "It" refers to Mussoorie, making this a logical follow-up sentence to provide context about the place.
  • Sentence C: "We traveled to Dehradun by train." This sentence introduces the travel aspect of the trip. It describes the first part of the journey, mentioning an intermediate stop in Dehradun.
  • Sentence E: "It was morning when we reached Dehradun." This sentence adds specific detail to the travel described in Sentence C, indicating the time of arrival at the intermediate location, Dehradun.
  • Sentence D: "In the afternoon we decided to go to Mussoorie by private car." This sentence describes the next step in the journey, detailing the decision and mode of transport from Dehradun to the final destination, Mussoorie.

Constructing the Paragraph Sequence:

Based on the analysis, the most coherent order for the sentences is:

  1. B. Last week, I went to Mussoorie with my parents.
  2. A. It is situated in Uttrakhand.
  3. C. We traveled to Dehradun by train.
  4. E. It was morning when we reached Dehradun.
  5. D. In the afternoon we decided to go to Mussoorie by private car.

Determining the Third Sentence:

In the rearranged sequence (B, A, C, E, D), the sentence occupying the third position is Sentence C.
