The following question gives a sentence which has been divided into four parts which may not be in their correct order of narrative. The sentence is then followed by five options, one of which gives the sequence of the rearranged parts to make the sentence meaningful. Choose the option which gives the correct sequence of the parts. If the sentence is already arranged in the correct sequence, mark option " No rearrangement required " as the answer.
(A) though the process is slow and painstaking,
(B) grassroots movements for financial inclusion
(C) are gradually transforming the economic landscape of rural India,
(D) with millions gaining access to banking services for the first time
Correct Answer :
BCAD
Solution :
The correct rearranged sequence of the sentence parts is BCAD.
To determine the correct order, let us analyze the grammatical roles and logical flow of the given fragments:
1. (B) grassroots movements for financial inclusion introduces the main subject of the sentence. This is the logical starting point.
2. (C) are gradually transforming the economic landscape of rural India, provides the verb phrase ("are gradually transforming") that directly follows and describes the action of the subject in (B). Together, (B) and (C) form the core clause: "grassroots movements for financial inclusion are gradually transforming the economic landscape of rural India,".
3. (A) though the process is slow and painstaking, is a concessional clause that modifies the action described in (C). Placing it after (C) adds context about the nature of the transformation.
4. (D) with millions gaining access to banking services for the first time is a concluding prepositional phrase that provides supporting detail or evidence for the transformation and inclusion mentioned earlier.
Combining these parts in the order B - C - A - D yields a coherent, grammatically correct sentence:
"Grassroots movements for financial inclusion are gradually transforming the economic landscape of rural India, though the process is slow and painstaking, with millions gaining access to banking services for the first time."
