please tell me the scoring pattern in re-order paragraph section
hi are these real exam questions? can you plz upload most recent exam questions of pte.
Check “Recent Exam” section
Plz send me more link regarding repeated material
I have already updated all the content.
I don’t understand why #1 is BEADC? I thought it would be BEACD.
Could you please explain how to arrange C and D?
Statement A says that the ambassador’s vision of the country should not run beyond that of local people and statement ‘D’ adds to this thought by saying as a result of this necessity there is an ambivalence in their behaviour (ambivalence means the state of having mixed feelings or contradictory ideas about something or someone.).
C explains how this ambivalence is exhibited by them. Hence A-D-C are logically connected.

Could you please explain #3
I thought it would be DBAEC
DEBAC
D- Topic sentence.
Rest of the sentences are part of a discussion. BAC are against and E is far. BAC can’t be separated they all are talking same. E can come either after D or last. C is a summary statement and hence it has to be the last one. That leaves E with second place.
This is how I came to DEBAC. I am not sure if Author has a different explanation.
why c comes as a summary statement in your opinion? and in general, where would you put analogy in a text?
in general analogy must be put in the last one and i think c concludes the sentence perfectly
you can see that option D,E,B,A are linked to each other whiile C gives additional information which does not match to any other option and remember in PTE, Firstly they always talk about one point then start another point. So, C option will be last
Thanks Venkata, it helps.
Please send me answer some problem do not show any answer
Check comments section.
E: “These Patents” –so need para which says on Patents.
D: “Patents of Software and Business Method”. So DE
Since D is the complete sentence. So D is starting point.
A: starts with “Moreover”……’Hurdle’ . It means it need para before it.
B: “hinder innovation because software ” and can be a starting point. So BA
Till Now: DE _BA_
C: cannot fill between E and B. Also looks like a summary para.
So final: DEBAC
