Question: The five sentences (labelled 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) given in this question, when properly sequenced, from a coherent paragraph. Each sentence is labelled with a number. Decide on the proper order for the sentences and key in this sequence of five numbers as your answer.
The implications of retelling of Indian stories, hence takes on new meaning in a modern India.
The stories we tell reflect the world around us.
We cannot help but retell the stories that we value -after all, they are never quite right for us-in our time.
And even if we manage to get them quite right, they are only right for us-other people living around us will have different reasons for telling similar stories.
As soon as we capture a story, the world we were trying to capture has changed.
Among the given options, 2 is clearly the starter sentence as it gives the broad subject that each of the other sentences refers to - stories. 5 follows 2 as it takes the subject of stories to the next point which is that changes happen after a story is created.
Choosing between the remaining sentences, we see that 3 follows 2,5 as 3 mentions how the changes in the world, mentioned in sentence 5, relates to retelling stories that do not seem right, “for our time”.
Sentence 4 clearly follows 2, 5, 3 as it continues where 3 left off and goes on to “even if we manage to get them quite right”.
Sentence 1 concludes the thread of the previous sentences and serves neatly as the last sentence in the para-jumble.
Hence, the correct answer is 25341.
