| 1. CDBA 2. BCDA 3. ACDB 4. ADCB 5. DCBA |
View Answer
Answer: Option 3
Explanation:
Parts C & D fit together in a sequence since the latter tells the reader what Mariana Trench is. Hence, Options 4 & 5 are rejected.
Part B cannot open the paragraph since it begins with ‘that’. Hence, Option 2 is rejected.
Out of Parts A & C, C must follow A to tell the reader what the scientists have discovered.
Hence, the correct answer is Option 3.

Parts D & B fit in a sequence since the latter reveals the name of the satellite. Only Options 1 & 3 place these two parts correctly. Therefore, all other options are rejected.
Clearly, Option B cannot close the paragraph since the paragraph cannot end with the word ‘coastal’. Therefore, Option 3 is also rejected.

View Answer
Answer: Option 4
Explanation:
Part R needs a past tense verb in the end to make logical sense. Only Part P begins with a verb in the past tense (plucked up). Hence, Parts R & P fit together in a sequence. As a result, Options 1 & 3 are rejected.
It does not make sense for the paragraph to end with Part P since it will leave the paragraph incomplete. Hence, Option 2 is also rejected.
