Solutions
S1.
Ans. (b)
Sol.
The correct sequence of sentences for the coherent paragraph is CEABDF.
The
sentence (C) provides the theme of the passage which is ‘importance of
breathing exercises in Yoga’. The sentence (C) should be the first sentence of
the coherent paragraph.
The
sentence (C) introduces the term ‘breathing exercises’, while the sentence (E)
talks about ‘different types of breathing techniques, ‘pranayama’ is one of
them’. The sentence (A) provides what happens in a breathing exercise. Talking
about different types of breathing exercises and then, telling about what
happens in a breathing exercise is more coherent than first telling about what
happens in a breathing exercise and then, talking about different types of
breathing exercises. Now, the sentence (E) should be the second sentence of the
coherent paragraph and the sentence (A) should be the THIRD sentence of the
coherent paragraph. The sentence (B) further talks about or qualifies the
information presented in the sentence (A). So, the sentence (B) should be the FOURTH
sentence of the coherent paragraph.
The
sentence (D) introduces a new aspect to the passage and introduces the term
‘Prana’ which is further elaborated by the sentence (F). So, the sentence (D)
should be the FIFTH sentence of the coherent paragraph, and the sentence (F)
should be the SIXTH sentence of the coherent paragraph.
Hence,
the final sequence for the coherent paragraph is CEABDF.
So,
the option (b) is the correct answer.
