Question

In the given questions, a sentence has been broken into four parts and the parts are jumbled. Choose the option which provides the correct way to re-arrange the parts to form a grammatically and contextually meaningful sentence. If all the parts are correctly placed, mark E as your answer.

We process our world in narrative, we talk in narrative (A) / and--most important for leadership--people recall (B) / and retain information more effectively when it's presented (C) / in the form of a story, not bullet points (D) /.

a) DCAB
b) ADBC
c) CBAD
d) No rearrangement required

Answer 1

The sentence's parts are correctly placed, following the canonical order, and they logically transition from one to the next. Hence, no rearrangement is required, and the answer is (d) No rearrangement required. Option D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves determining the proper sequence of sentence parts to create a grammatically correct and meaningful sentence. Upon examining the parts of the sentence (A) We process our world in narrative, we talk in narrative, (B) and--most important for leadership--people recall, (C) and retain information more effectively when it's presented, (D) in the form of a story, not bullet points, it is evident that no rearrangement is required.

The sentence flows logically from introducing how we process and talk about our world in narrative form (A), to the importance of narrative for leadership and memory retention (B), further explaining the effectiveness of storytelling in information retention (C), and contrasting it with bullet points (D).

The correct answer is (d) No rearrangement required. Each part leads cohesively to the next, following the canonical order in English writing wherein the sequence presents old to new information, thus enhancing the clarity and recall of the sentence. This pattern adheres to principles commonly observed in sentence structure, emphasizing the power of narrative and storytelling over simple bullet points.
