How to score maximum in Sentence Arrangements
* Try to find out the subjects after reading the sentences. It'll help you to identify the first sentence.* Look for nouns such as person, place, or things. They are most likely to be an opening sentence.
* Go for elimination method after reading all sentences, and find the subject or the first sentence.
* If you find pronouns such as he, she, it, they, etc., means the noun has already been introduced.
* Similarly, finding adjectives will help you decide the correct order of the sentence.
* Find Connectives such as but, despite, similarly, etc. They are rarely the opening sentences. They refer to previous sentences and will help you identify the middle sentences.
* Once sentences are arranged, do check whether they convey any logical meaning or not. If not, re-arrange them until you give logical meaning.
