  • NOUN PRONOUN HINT: The basic rule of noun and pronoun is that noun always comes first.  So, whenever there is a pronoun in the sentences, first thing is to fix the noun and then fix both the sentences together.
    One important thing which you should see here is the terms of gender and number. Meaning noun and pronoun should be in line with these terms.

  • CAUSE (REASON) – EFFECT (RESULT) HINT: In this you should check whether there is any cause and effect relationship among the two sentences. If the answer is yes then they will seem as one after the other.
    For example: “if and then�, “whenever�, “because�, “the cause is�, “when and then�, “the reason is� etc. are the words which represents cause and effect relationship.

  • ACRONYM HINT/FULL FORM – SHORT FORMS: Out of all hints this one is very crucial as it uses both short forms and full forms. If there is full form as well as the short form exists in the sentences, then you need to first take the sentence with full form following with the sentence with abbreviation.

  • CHRONOLOGY HINT: Sometimes in the paragraph you will find questions with some events. These events will be about years, hours, months or some transition words. When, before, after, later are words which indicate timeline.
    You need to arrange these words in a chronological order to make correct paragraph.

  • COMMON SENTENCE TO SPECIFIC SENTENCE HINT: In the paragraph there will be some sentences with general description and few sentences with specific description.
    All you need to do is to put general sentence at first place following with the specific one. 

  • QUESTION – ANSWER HINT: In the paragraph there will be sentence with asking a question. There will also be a sentence which would be providing a solution of that.
    So a question asking sentence will come first to a solution providing sentence.
