TRANSCRIPT
The basic approach to solve Para Jumble questions is to skim through the given
sentences and look out for key-words and mandatory pairs. However, you must keep in
mind that more than one mandatory pair can exist in a Para Jumble question. Then you
should go to the options and start eliminating them.
It is not necessary that a Para Jumble question will comprise a whole paragraph. The
first sentence in the rearranged order might be a sentence from the middle of the
paragraph which has been jumbled up to form the question. Therefore, it may not always
be a good idea to spend your time in identifying the obvious opening statements. Instead
you should focus on the logical rearrangement of the given sentences.
A. Before reading John Stuart Mill’s Autobiography he thought the first-cause argument proved God’s existence,
but Mill wrote that his father had taught him that to say that God caused the world immediately raised the
question what caused God, because if everything requires a cause then God does too.
B. Russell is perhaps best known to the general public for his views on religion, a topic which engaged his
attention from boyhood onward.
C. For a time, when his love for Lady Ottoline Morrell was in full bloom, he professed to share her interest in
mystical religion.
D. Thus Russell, newly bereft of religious belief, went up to Cambridge where to his surprise and delight, he
found the majority shared his view.
E. After this detour, he returned to his usual agnosticism.
Russell is perhaps best known to the general public for his views on religion, a topic which engaged his attention
from boyhood onward. Reading John Stuart Mill’s Autobiography led him to lose his belief in God. Before reading
Mill he thought the first-cause argument proved God’s existence, but Mill wrote that his father had taught him that to
say that God caused the world immediately raised the question what caused God, because if everything requires a
cause then God does too. Newly bereft of religious belief, Russell went up to Cambridge where, to his surprise and
delight, he found the majority shared his view. For a time, when his love for Lady Ottoline Morrell was in full bloom,
he professed to share her interest in mystical religion. ‘The Essence of Religion’, included here, is a fruit of that
period. After this detour, he returned to his usual agnosticism.

Question – 1
The four sentences (labelled 1, 2, 3, and 4) given in this question, when properly
sequenced, form a coherent paragraph. Decide on the proper order for the
sentences and key in this sequence of four numbers as your answer.
1. To the uninitiated listener, atonal music can sound like chaotic, random noise.
2. Atonality is a condition of music in which the constructs of the music do not ‘live’
within the confines of a particular key signature, scale, or mode.
3. After you realize the amount of knowledge, skill, and technical expertise required to
compose or perform it, your tune may change, so to speak.
4. However, atonality is one of the most important movements in 20th century music.
Question – 2
1. Living things—animals and plants—typically exhibit correlational structure.
2. Adaptive behaviour depends on cognitive economy, treating objects as equivalent.
3. The information we receive from our senses, from the world, typically has structure
and order, and is not arbitrary.
4. To categorize an object means to consider it equivalent to other things in that
category, and different—along some salient dimension—from things that are not.
Question – 3
1. Such a belief in the harmony of nature requires a purpose presumably imposed by
the goodness and wisdom of a deity.
2. These parts, all fit together into an integrated, well-ordered system that was created
by design.
3. Historically, the notion of a balance of nature is part observational, part
metaphysical, and not scientific in any way.
4. It is an example of an ancient belief system called teleology, the notion that what
we call nature has a predetermined destiny associated with its component parts.
Question – 4
1. Conceptualisations of ‘women’s time’ as contrary to clock-time and clock-time as
synonymous with economic rationalism are two of the deleterious results of this
representation.
2. While dichotomies of ‘men’s time’, ‘women’s time’, clock-time, and caring time can
be analytically useful, this article argues that everyday caring practices incorporate
a multiplicity of times; and both men and women can engage in these multiple-
times.
3. When the everyday practices of working sole fathers and working sole mothers are
carefully examined to explore conceptualisations of gendered time, it is found that
caring time is often more focused on the clock than generally theorised.
4. Clock-time has been consistently represented in feminist literature as a masculine
artefact representative of a ‘time is money’ perspective.
Question – 5
1. People with dyslexia have difficulty with print-reading, and people with autism
spectrum disorder have difficulty with mind-reading.
2. An example of a lost cognitive instinct is mind-reading: our capacity to think of
ourselves and others as having beliefs, desires, thoughts and feelings.
3. Mind-reading looks increasingly like literacy, a skill we know for sure is not in our
genes, since scripts have been around for only 5,000-6,000 years
4. Print-reading, like mind-reading varies across cultures, depends heavily on certain
parts of the brain, and is subject to developmental disorders.
Question – 6
1. An international conference on cultural heritage issues that took place at Willamette
University sought to generate fresh ideas about these cultural heritage issues.
2. The legacy of conquest, colonialization, and commerce looms large in defining and
explaining these threats.
3. It also tried to offer a good sense of their nuances and complexities; and reveal
how culture, law, and ethics can interact, complement, diverge, and contradict one
another.
4. The global community, dependent as always on the cooperation of nation states, is
gradually learning to address the serious threats to the cultural heritage of our
disparate but shared civilizations.
Question – 7
1. As highlighted by Feng Xia and his team, social media constitute an emerging
approach to evaluating the impact of scholarly publications, and it is relevant to
consider the influence of the journal, discipline, publication year and user type.
2. In fact, different studies address the relationship between the presence of articles
on social networks and citations.
3. The authors revealed that people’s concerns differ by discipline and observed more
interest in papers related to everyday life, biology, and earth and environmental
sciences.
4. In the field of biomedical sciences, Haustein analysed the dissemination of journal
articles on Twitter to explore the correlations between tweets and citations and
proposed a framework to evaluate social media-based metrics.
