hey...
Question and answers are posted by me i.e medulla...
Explanation:
Q1] Because the person (Menon) has been referred to only in statement B Hence para should start with B. B should be followed by C,D because they illustrate Menon's remarkable presence.

Q2] The aanswer is d. because although the name Usha is in the fourth statement, the revolution that is talked about is mentioned in statement (c) and hence the answer.The chain reaction B is explained in C.Thus, C follows B.

I hope this helps...

@ medulla
Hi I just want to know for first question how (d) why am asking this is the four lines are from an article published in magazine and according to them
Lean and intense, Menon was endowed with a remarkable presence. He was always draped in a modest but decent suit. His eyes piercing and forehead broad merging into the silvery, dishevelled lock of hair. His hawked nose, sensuous lips, heavy voice and tapering fingers always busy explaining ideas and moods supplemented his extraordinary mind.

the flow... I am not trying to prove you wrong but just wanted to know if I am right or wrong

Hi pooja...

Even i am not satisfied with the answer and I had marked it as BACD. This question is from Career launcher study material.

Can you tell me the name of the magazine so that i will ask them specifically?
And Puys...

What do think should be the answer? Is there any thumb rule in describing a personality???

Hi medulla
ya sure will give u the link will pm u... as I am not sure if its legal to post the link site here... if its valid will post it here only... so that even others can have a look on it... so shd I post the link here? as far as I have read the article mostly people describe there external appearance first like dressing sense and then they describe how they look this is mostly what I have read in biographies of legends... No idea about the thumb rule....

My answer is 1.. I had already posted my answer on Pg 49

Hi,

I will take care from next time. But I hope you understand these are typo errors. For example w instead of e. I edit it whenever I find them. Dude...I think you can guess the actual word. I dont think this should deter you from attempting it.

Still thanks for suggestion. Cheers...
