ANSWERS
Q.1. (c)
Q.2. (d)
Q.3. (a)
Q.4. (b)
Q.5. (d)
Explanation: the correct sequence is: becadf => sentence (e) is the second
On taking a glance at the passage, it is clear that the passage is about malaria vaccine. No other sentence other than b), provides complete information on anything and are dependent sentences which cannot be used as a starting sentence. Sentence b) completely introduces malaria vaccine and hence acts as the introduction.
According to b) from next year WHO will pilot test malaria vaccine. Sentence a), c) and e) are also related to vaccine, so check among these sentences for the next sentence. Sentence c) is eliminated as it will follow sentence e) as e) talks about trail phase and c) talks about what will happen after e) has taken place. Now both a) and e) are eligible for 2nd position. a) says that if the vaccine does prove to be ready for large scale use… it means this will happen when it has been after the pilot test, So a) will not be the second sentence rather it will follow c) as c) is about pilot test. So second sentence is e)
So we have now: beca
From d) and f), d) will come first as f) is dependent on d).. f) says Africa accounted for 92% of these deaths… Which death? The death mentioned in d)
So sequence is: becadf
Q.6. (d)
Q.7. (b)
Q.8. (a)
Q.9. (e)
Q.10. (d)
Sentence c) and b) qualify for the position of first sentence as rest of the sentence are dependent sentences. However c) acts as an introduction sentence and tells that higher judiciary is dealing with economic issues, followed by e). Then comes b) which states what will happen when a judge who has to pass a verdict is inefficient of doing economic analysis. Option a) follows b) as it gives an example. Last is d)
