Question 1 Explanation:
There are two pairs that you need to identify in this question: CB and DA. CB can be established considering that statement B takes forward the central thought being conveyed by statement C. Statement A provides a comment on the action taken by India, that is ratifying the GATT. The key thing to identify the correct answer in this case is the order DA. These two statements have to occur together because of the common mention of India in the two.

Question 2 Explanation:
We can see that statements D, B and A cannot be the first sentence of this passage as they do not make sense as the first sentence of the paragraph. Statement C and Statement A form a pair as A is a continuation in the form of a contradiction of statement C. Hence, we can identify option 3 as the correct answer.
Question 3 |
(A) During one exhibition, however, some air became mixed with the hydrogen, and in the words of the shaken performer: “The explosion was so dreadful that I imagined all my teeth had been blown out’’.
(B) An entertainer would finish his acts by blowing the hydrogen he had inhaled towards a lighted candle: as the hydrogen caught fire, flames would shoot menacingly from his lips.
(C) A paper bag filled with hydrogen amazed guests by zooming off into space.
(D) When people learned about its unique lighter-than-air property, they began to use it in all sorts of parlour stunts.
(B) An entertainer would finish his acts by blowing the hydrogen he had inhaled towards a lighted candle: as the hydrogen caught fire, flames would shoot menacingly from his lips.

Question 3 Explanation:
The order here is a tough to identify. Since statement D mentions the parlour stunts, statement C would be an appropriate successor as it mentions guests who were amazed. Statement B introduces an entertainer and statement A continues with what happened with him during one of the exhibitions. Hence, we can identify the correct order, that is option A.
Question 4 |
(A) It is exciting and various.
(B) I am a writer as I might have been a doctor or a lawyer.
(C) The writer is free to work in what he believes.
(D) It is so pleasant a profession that it is not surprising if a vast number of persons adopt it who have no qualifications for it.
