Hi there,
In my opinion also B E A D C seems to be correct answer could you please check it once.

which question
i also think, for the first 3rd para, it should be BEADC.
B is the starting sentence
E is the next, since heart diseases are common, it is called era of heart troubles
For these, we have good drugs (A), Then, D and C follows naturally
I also think BEADC is a better sentence flow for #3.
Does PTE actual exam have similar questions in terms of complexity ?
More or less the same.
For para 3, I am thinking it should be BEDCA. Can you please give some explanation why it is BADCE.
BADCE – The paragraph talks about ‘Heart Ailments’ and ‘B’ seems to be the best opening sentence. ‘These ailments’ in sentence ‘A’ is the first clue as it is talking about heart ailments discussed in ‘B’. Next comes sentence ‘D’ as it further discusses way to avoid heart ailments. ‘E’ perfectly sums up the paragraph. The only sentence which is left now is ‘C’. It should come before ‘E’
So there could be only 1 logical sequence = BADCE
I think the answer is BEADC
[B]. Heart ailments are very common these days.
[E]. That is why people call this era as the age of heart troubles.
[A]. Modern science has produced some good drugs for these ailments.
[D]. But this can also be prevented by taking fatless food.
[C]. So I always prefer taking milk these days as it contains no fat.
Hi Shanka,
There is no link between sentence E & sentence A. Justify your answer with explanation.
This does have a logic:
Heart ailments are common ,hence people call this the era as age of heart troubles.
The word “common” and the name given to the era is a link between B & E.
Putting E in the end makes the sentence loose its flow
Yup
para 1 : I think it is CBAED
No. The given answer ‘EDCBA’ is correct. Try to grasp the meaning of the paragraph
I need more test for practice.
