PTE Practice Test – Reorder Paragraphs

1. Re-order / Rearrange the sentence in such a way that make sense.

[A]. Senior Management is usually overwhelmed by the complexity of budget setting.
[B]. They are rather bored by the budget process.
[C].  It is a misconception that the budget is set by the senior management.
[D]. Senior managers jump at a chance to accept a budget analysis recommendation for
budget changes.

2. Re-order / Rearrange the sentence in such a way that make sense.

[A].  It was a time when managers had to take a critical look at every aspect of their production process and make improvements where necessary.
[B]. As a result, some people believe it is now time to re-assess many companies in terms of the standards they agreed to some years ago.
[C].  In the late 1900s, food manufacturers were challenged by the organic community to ensure they were using ingredients that had been produced in natural, healthy ways.
[D]. Whether these systems have been maintained seems questionable, particularly as contracts depend so heavily on efficiency and quick sales.
[E]. Over the last half-century, organic farming has become a driving force in the world’s food market.

3. Re-order / Rearrange the sentence in such a way that make sense. 

[A]. At the turn of the 19th century, however, only a relatively small sector of the British economy had been directly affected by the Industrial Revolution.
[B]. For each of the three major countries of western Europe – Britain, France, and Germany – the closing decades of the 18th century were years of increasing economic prosperity, and the pace of economic development in Britain far outdid that of the others.
[C]. It would be a mistake to call the other two countries underdeveloped – in terms of cultural achievement, especially literature, art, and philosophy, they outstripped Britain – but they lagged behind in terms of economic development.
[D]. Even two decades later, the picture was little different, except that cotton had become the country’s leading manufacturing industry. It was not until the middle of the century that it could be properly described as an industrial society.

  • @Author : What is the correct answer for Question#1.
    Is it CADB.
    It is a misconception that the budget is set by the senior management.
    Senior Management is usually overwhelmed by the complexity of budget setting.
    Senior managers jump at a chance to accept a budget analysis recommendation for
    budget changes.
    They are rather bored by the budget process.

    • The correct answer should be CADB. ‘C’ seems to be the best opening sentence. ‘A’ follows ‘C’ as the discussion of senior management is continued in the sentence ‘A’. Next sentence has to be ‘B’. ‘They’ in sentence ‘B’ refers to senior management and not senior managers. And ‘D’ concludes the sentence.

      • The correct answers are:

        2. ECADB – Sentence ‘E’ introduces the topic of organic farming. ‘E’ is followed by ‘C’ as it talks about as how organic farming became popular. Next logical sentence is ‘A’ as further discusses ‘late 1900s time’ (‘It was a time’ is referred to 1900s). D comes next as it discusses ‘systems’ which were developed by managers in sentence ‘A’. Finally ‘B’ concludes it.

        3. BADC – The paragraph is about 3 major countries of Europe and their increasing prosperity, Sentence ‘B’ is the introductory sentence. Following time sequence, next sentence is ‘A’ which is about 19th century. ‘D’ becomes next sentence in the sequence as it discusses events after 2 decades. ‘C’ conludes the paragraph.

  • yes ahmed
    even i have the same option view that how can we use they for senior management. they is referred to senior managers so, it should be CADB..

  • Guys for example 1 ….
    I used to solve by this structure…

    First find an independent sentence – ( Topic Sentence )
    For second sentence – The second sentence always follows the object of first sentence ( U know basic Subject + Verb +Object )… That means the subject of second second sentence always be object of first sentence….. and so on for 3 and 4 ( exception during connectors like however, likewise, on the other hand, moreover, contrary etc ) and at last there should always be a conclusive sentence ( U can identify it by just analyzing or looking at word therefore, as a result, hence , etc…. )
