CAT Questions

Para Jumbles, which is also known as Sentence Rearrangement, in the CAT Question Paper are must-attempt questions since they are generally TITA type questions that carry no negative marking. With this, we can’t really say that these questions are easily achievable. But identifying the idea and connotations used in each sentence and linking those is one of the best ways to solve these type of questions during your CAT Exam. Reading becomes the crucial part, by all means, for your CAT VARC. Start your CAT Online Preparation today!
