1. Re-order / Rearrange the sentence in such a way that make sense.
[A]. The Civil Aviation Ministry should learn from history and stop meddling with the cycle of creative destruction and with the forces of a free market.
[B]. But the Centre should not be playing knight in shining armor, particularly at a time when public sector banks have enough bad debt on their hands.
[C]. It may be recalled that no good came out of banks being forced to convert a chunk of their loans to the now defunct Kingfisher Airlines into equity, and that too at a stiff premium on the market price.
[D]. If SpiceJet goes belly up, the market will find a way of restoring equilibrium, which could happen sooner rather than later with other airlines set to take to the Indian skies.
[E]. It is by no means certain at this juncture that SpiceJet will go the Kingfisher way; it may well earn a fresh lease of life if the funding that it is trying to cobble together materializes.

Hi There,
According to me D C E A B seems to be correct answer could you please clarify.
Regards,
Baba
DEACB is correct. ‘DC’ as a pair does not make sense.
D is the best opening sentence & best fit. Sentence ‘D’ talks about Armada de Molucca started its voyage from San Lucar de Barrameda. Taking the explanation further, sentence ‘E’ talks about where it was heading to. Last few words of sentence ‘E’ tells you about it was carrying then sentence ‘A takes the discussion further.
‘B’ concludes its perfectly, so DEACB is correct.
shouldnt it be DECAB.
A says it consists of 38 bags of spices as cargo which they got from malayan peninsula and then Magellan was hacked in Phillipines which describe the state of the sailor.
This. In E, they were supposed to get spices, so they could not yet have any on board! So DECAB must be correct.
Hi Author,
I think DECAB makes better sense than DEACB.
A – Talks about “hacking of Magallen” which should come only after C – the Victoria ship with only 15 sailors reaching back to port.
In second re-order, why not DE-AC-B? I mean why A is not linked to E?
DEACB is correct
how is the marking if i partially correct.
Will all the marks deducted or score some in re-order paragraphs
You will get partial credit for each correct pair
thanks a lot for helping us….
