Tips for
cracking Para Jumbles in Bank Exams
- Even the toughest parajumbles have two or three
sentences that form a link. Try to spot the link that has to go
together and then eliminate the options that do not have that
link. This is your first round of elimination.
- Conjunctions play a very important
role in joining two or more sentences. Beware of all the
subordinating conjunctions such as after, although, as, as far as,
as if, as long as, as soon as, as though, because, before, if, in order
that, since, so, so that, than, though, unless, until, when, whenever,
where, whereas, wherever, and while.
- The coordinating conjunctions are
also very important. Coordinating conjunctions are: for, and, nor,
but, or, yet, and so
- Keep an eye on the adverbs like even,
also, still, however, nevertheless, notwithstanding etc. Such adverbs
help link two or more sentences.
- Use the pronouns to your advantage. In
long paragraphs the pronoun reference may not always work. Ideally
a pronoun in one sentence should always point to a noun in the sentence
immediately preceding it.
- General information always precedes specific
information. That is thethumb rule. Information/Idea that is
more universal should come first followed by information/idea that is less
universal or more specific.
- Introduction of a/an idea/entity comes first followed
by general description. Tangible descriptions should always take
precedence over intangible description. If you describe a man's
personality. Describe his physical features and then gradually
move to the intangible aspects, same rule applies to other things.
- The conclusion, as a rule, always comes at the end. Any
sentence that follows a conclusion creates a break in the flow of ideas, a
feeling of this awkwardness should help you identify the last sentence of
the paragraph.
- Keep an eye on the chronology and
the importance of events. An event of lesser significance comes
later but an event of greater significance always comes first.
- Lastly, never rush with your answers.
Be patient. Mark the answer only after you have confidently evaluated the
other options.
