What is text reconstruction in English?
The
topic may also be referred to as parajumbles and questions from this topic are
frequently asked in the exam.
The
weightage of questions asked from the sentence rearrangement topic is mostly
between 3-5 marks and candidates can easily score marks in these questions.
Sentence Rearrangement – Basic Concept
As the
word suggests, sentence rearrangement refers to re-arranging a bunch of lines,
which are presented in a jumbled manner in the question. Candidates need to
arrange the sentences in the correct order and then answer the questions
related to the same.
The theme, topic or the area from which the jumbled sentences may be
picked is miscellaneous and candidates need to analyze the statements carefully
to answer the question.
The questions asked may be of various types:
The correct order of all the statements
The correct order of any one statement
To detect the first statement of the passage
To detect the last statement of the passage, and so on
The more a candidate practises, the more efficient he/she shall
get in solving the jumbled statements.
Types of Sentence Rearrangement Questions
There
are basically 4 formats in which the parajumble questions can be asked in the
various competitive exams:
The Basic Format: This is the format where all the
statements are given in a jumbled form and candidates need to arrange all the
statements logically.
Static First Statement: In the second type of format for
parajumbles, the first statement is given as static and candidates have to
arrange the other statements logically, such that the first statement remains
constant.
Static Last Statement: Just like a static first statement, the
last statement given can also be static and candidates need to arrange the
other sentences to make the paragraph logical, with the last sentence constant.
Static First and Last Statement: The first and last statement can
be static and candidates are required to arrange the leftover sentences between
these two statements to make it logically correct.
