Directions: Rearrange the following seven sentences A, B, C, D, E,...

In this piece of article the writer clearly seems to be, on one hand, appreciating the government’s move of providing benefits for women working in the organised sector and criticizing its negligence towards the other women in unorganised sector on the other. Sentence C clearly sets the tone of the passage and hence should be the first statement.&

Now, to find the second sentence in the sequence is really a bit complex. At a glance, sentence G seems to be coming next but if we picked this, we would not be able to fit the sentence B elsewhere or if we placed the sentence B somewhere else, it would bring absurdity to the context of the passage. Besides, the demonstrative pronoun ‘This’ in the very beginning of the sentence B is connecting well to the word ‘step’, the noun used at the end of the sentence C. Sentence B therefore follows.&

‘this’ (B) − ‘step’ (C)&

G follows the sequence as it welcomes and describes the idea discussed in the first sentence.&

‘such a benefit’ (G) − ‘enhancement of paid maternity leave for women’ (C)

E clearly seems to follow the sequence as it brings a contrast to the point being discussed.&

‘the amended law’ (E) − ‘an amendment’ (G)

F immediately follows as it supports the argument made in sentence E.

Keywords/phrases that connect F to E:
'For many poor millions in the unorganised sector' (F) & − 'a small subset& of women in the workforce' (E)

D must follow the sequence made so far as it criticizes the current benefit scheme for women in the unorganised sector whle quoting government's apathy towards the women in unorganised sector.

‘this meagre benefit’ − ‘a small conditional cash benefit of Rs. 6,000’

Now, the only sentence that is left is sentence A and it will obviously take the last position in the sequence. Hence, the correct sequence of sentences will be C-B-G-E-F-D-A.
