REARRANGEMENT OF  SENTENCES

             Rearrangement of sentences is a great way to check how good one’s English is. It tests the knowledge of dealing with the linkers towards paragraph construction in English. The process of rearrangement of jumbled sentences should result in a meaningful paragraph, in which coherence between one sentence and the following sentence is found. In this type of questions, we are provided with a list of sentences in a jumbled order. We have to restructure them in an order of coherence so as to form a complete and meaningful paragraph.
              A meaningful order of sentences in a paragraph may contain many different kinds of information. A systematic arrangement of sentences in a paragraph could contain a series of brief examples or a single long illustration of a general point. It might describe a place, character, or process; narrate a series of events; compare or contrast two or more things; classify items into categories; or describe causes and effects. 
              Coherence is the main things to be looked into while rearranging the jumbled sentences in order we think it to be logical. Coherence refers to a certain characteristic or aspect of unscrambling the jumbled sentences. Literally, the word means "to stick together."
Coherence in writing means that all the ideas in a paragraph flow smoothly from one sentence to the next sentence. With coherence, the reader has an easy time understanding the ideas that you wish to express.
              In a coherent arrangement of sentences, each sentence relates clearly to the topic sentence or controlling idea, but there is more to coherence than this. If the order of the jumbled sentences is coherent, each sentence flows smoothly into the next without obvious shifts or jumps. A coherent order of sentences also highlights the ties between old information and new information to make the structure of ideas or arguments clear to the reader. 
              As such, while rearranging the jumbled sentences in an order of logical sequence, we have to look into two parameters of great importance – unity and coherence. A pronoun in a sentence, or a linker found in a sentence may be great help for us to restructure the order of the jumbled sentences. Enough practice in this regard is mandatory on our part to face this section of questions in the competitive examination.
