Question

Rearrange the following sentences to form a coherent paragraph:
1. Consequently, effective communication hinges on more than just the words we choose.
2. Non-verbal cues, such as tone of voice, facial expressions, and body language, can convey more meaning than the verbal message itself.
3. Communication is a complex process involving the exchange of information, ideas, and feelings between individuals.
4. It’s often the subtle signals that tell us how a message is truly being received or intended.

A.

3, 2, 1, 4

B.

2, 4, 1, 3

C.

1, 4, 3, 2

D.

3, 4, 2, 1

Correct option is A

The correct sequence is 3, 2, 1, 4.
Explain the correct sequence of each sentence:
· (3) is the best opening line because it introduces the main topic broadly: what communication is and why it is complex. A definition/general statement usually starts a paragraph.
· (2) logically follows because it adds a supporting detail about communication—specifically, it explains that communication is not only verbal; non-verbal cues can carry stronger meaning.
· (1) comes next because it begins with “Consequently,” which clearly shows a result/conclusion from the previous idea (that non-verbal cues matter). So after (2), we naturally conclude: communication depends on more than words.
· (4) fits at the end as it acts like a final reinforcing statement, emphasizing the practical takeaway: subtle signals reveal real intention and reception, strengthening the concluding idea of (1).
How to identify the order (exam clues / connectors):
· A paragraph usually starts with a general introduction/definition → sentence (3).
· Sentence (2) gives examples (tone, facial expressions, body language), so it must come after the topic is introduced.
· “Consequently” in sentence (1) is a strong connector showing result, so it cannot come before its cause.
· Sentence (4) uses “It’s often…”, which works best as a closing observation, summarizing the idea in a natural concluding tone.
