Arranging sentence is difficult and time consuming questions asked competitive exams. The sentences are arranged in jumbled. The main task is to arrange in to original sequence.One sentence rearrangement question is usually followed by 5 questions and that means if your arrangement is right, your score increases by 5 marks.  Here we are providing you with some simple tips that can save your valuable time and help you solve these questions quickly.

Tip 1 :

Identify the opening/closing sentence

Just scan all the sentences, try to get the feel of what the passage is about. If you get the tone of the paragraph then it becomes easy for you to guess the opening and closing sentence.

Tip 2 :

Look out for the links

Identify the links among the sentences
There are some transition words that can help you, simultaneously, hence, besides etc
Look out for

• Relative pronouns (who,whom, whose, which, that)
• Demonstrative pronouns (this, that, these, those)
• Personal Pronouns (he, she, it, him, her, you, they)

If a sentence has these pronouns, make a note of it and scan the paragraph again for the original person, place or object that it refers to.

• Examples and Explanation

If a sentence has a certain example or explanation then you must look out for its source. It can be a concept, idea or anything.

Tip 3 :

Check Once again

After you are finished with the rearrangement, check it again and make sure that it is coherent and makes sense.
Some More Tips

1. Focus on improving your reading skills. Read more books, more articles on the internet, and editorials in the newspaper. Good reading skills will not only help you in these questions. It will also be very helpful when you solve Double fillers, Comprehension and Cloze Test.
2. Practice!! Practice!! Practice!!

 Just to make it more clear. Here is an example
A. Hence, the meal that is taken in the morning is breakfast.
B. The word originated from the fact that after dinner, we don’t eat the whole night and this is a long time for the body to go without food.
C. During day time, we keep on eating and munching after every 3-4 hours.
D. People often ask as to why breakfast is important.
E. But the duration between dinner and breakfast is pretty long, sometimes may be equivalent to a fast.
F. The answer lies in the word ‘breakfast’ itself.
 Steps 

1. Scan all the sentences, you get the main theme. It’s about Breakfast and the origin of the word. 

2. Now, what can be the opening sentence?

From all the sentences
First sentence can’t be the opening sentence as it has a Linking word “HENCE”
Second sentence can’t be the opening sentence as it has THE. “THE” as an article, here is used to refer to something.
Third sentence also has a transition word “DURING”
Fifth sentence has a transition word “BUT”
Sixth sentence is not giving the sense of an opening sentence.
Therefore, D is the most apt opening sentence.
What can be the closing sentence?
By just scanning all the sentences, the sentences which are giving the feel of closing sentences are F and A. 
Don’t get confused, we will get our last sentence with the help of elimination.

3. D is linked to F as there is a link. A question is asked and answer is given.

Here A gets eliminated so the probable last sentence is going to be F
F is linked to B as it is giving the explanation to the answer.
As we said look out for transition words But and Hence 
To get the theme right, C is linked to E with the help of “But” and then E is linked to A with the help of “Hence”. 
ANSWER : D F B C E A
