Question

Sentences of a paragraph are given below in jumbled order.
Arrange the sentences in the correct order to form a meaningful and coherent paragraph A. The two children were so like, that without much difficulty it could not be discerned of their proper parents, which was Titus from Gisippus, or Gisippus from Titus. B. There was in the city of Rome a noble senator, named Fulvius, who sent his son, called Titus, being a child, to the city of Athens, in Greece (which was the fountain of all manner of doctrine), there to learn good letters : and caused him to be hosted with a worshipful mart of that city, called Chremes. C. This Chremes happened to have also a son named Gisippus, who not only was equal to the said young Titus in years, but also in stature, proportion of body, favour, and colour of visage, countenance and speech D. These two young gentlemen, as they seemed to be one in form and personage, so shortly after acquaintance, the same nature wrought in their hearts such a mutual affection, and their wills and appetites daily more and more so confederated themselves, that it seemed none other, when their names were declared, but that they had only changed their places, issuing (as I might say) out of the one body, and entering into the other.

A.

ADBC

B.

BACD

C.

BCAD

D.

DBCA

Correct option is C

Option (c) BCAD is the correct order of the given sentences.
Explanation of Sequence:
Let’s understand the logical and narrative flow of the paragraph:
· B introduces the main character (Titus), his origin in Rome, and his move to Athens for education. This serves as the opening or introductory sentence.
· C continues naturally by introducing Chremes’ son, Gisippus, and highlights his similarity to Titus. So, it builds on the setup given in B.
· A then points out that the two children were so similar in appearance that even their parents could not distinguish between them — this comparison logically follows after both characters have been introduced.
· D provides the emotional development — how the likeness led to a strong friendship and deep bond. This is an ideal concluding statement.
Structural Roles of Sentences:
· B → Introduction of Titus and his relocation
· C → Introduction of Gisippus and his similarity to Titus
· A → Describes the depth of their resemblance
· D → Shows the emotional outcome of their likeness — unity and bond
