Para Jumbles revision for SSC CGL: identify the tested rule, check context, eliminate invalid choices and review errors.

Para Jumbles require sentences to be arranged into a coherent paragraph. The correct order follows logical introduction, reference, chronology, cause-effect and conclusion.

Core rule
Context check
Common trap
Approved practice

Look for an independent opening sentence, then connect mandatory pairs using pronouns, articles, repeated nouns, chronology and cause-effect links.

A sentence beginning with pronouns such as he, she, it, they or this usually needs an earlier reference. Build strong pairs before deciding the complete order.
