CAT Previous Year Paper | CAT VARC Questions | Question 20

Sentence Rearrangement or Para jumble is a part of the Verbal ability section(VA). It is slightly tricky because sentences can have multiple constructions but we have only one correct answer in the exam. Forming sentence pairs is the best approach. Always look out for the link between sentences and try to order them. This is a medium level difficulty question. The main theme is change blindness and how our brain cannot proccess all of the changes in the environment. Go ahead, try out this question.Struggling with the VARC section of the CAT exam, here are sometips.
