Option (4) BEF B à Siberia lies in extremely cold region. E à House heating is a necessity in cold region. E says that cold region necessitates house heating and B says that Siberia is a very cold region. These two provide us with information that Siberia requires extensive house heating. Similar view is expressed in option F, that, lots of house heating is required in Siberia.

This para jumble provides an argument on the existence of God that is stated clearly in statement B and therefore, it forms the beginning of the sequence. Statement A follows up as it explains statement B by stating the principle. Out of C and D, C explains the principle in technical language, so A à C. Hence, (4) is the answer.

The latter part of the sentence 'distinguish between an individual's observable traits and his basic inheritance' - gives the clue for the blank. As we can see from our common sense that to distinguish between these two traits would be a complicated study, hence (4) is the answer.

The effect of cultural misunderstandings on Asian businesses as compared to their western counterparts is discussed in this para jumble. Therefore, it begins with statement C, followed by B because C shows the problem & B gives the answer. As statement D is making the comparison & also begins with 'whereas', it follows B. Finally, A sums up the problem. This makes (1) as the best possible answer.

If we look carefully at the options, out of B and A, statement B seems more probable in starting the paragraph, as statement A gives a linked status. Statement D follows B, as it starts with 'However' and it also supports B. Now, we are left with A and C, C is linked to A as indicated by 'even' in C, thus, C follows A. Hence, (3) is the correct answer.

The clue word in this sentence is 'evident', which provides an explanation to the phrase that precedes it. Thus, the word for the blank must be similar in meaning to 'passionately'. As 'Ardor' means passion, therefore it replaces the blank. Hence, (3) is the answer.

Statement B discusses Aristotle's theory on existence of earth in our universe, thus, B begins the sequence. B is followed by A as it throws light on Aristotle's disagreement of Pythagoras theory. 'Their reasoning' in D refers to 'Pythagoras' in A, thus, D follows A. E follows D as it explains D further. Hence, (1) is the answer.

As statement E expresses the thought of this para jumble, hence, it begins the sequence. A provides an explanation to E, thus, we have EA link. 'The same' in D is the reference to statement B, hence, D follows A. B logically follows D as it draws the conclusion. Hence, (4) is the answer.

Let's look for the links in this parajumble. Statement A elaborates statement E further, thus we have EA link. 'Its' in D refers to 'sculpture' in B, thus D follows B. C is to follow D as it is ruled by the chronology of events. Thus, we have BDC link. Hence, (2) is the answer.

Conversations would be believed only if they possess some degree of truth. 'Verisimilitude' which is applied to literary or artistic representations, suggests a degree of plausibility sufficient to induce audience belief. Thus, it fits our prediction. Hence, (2) is the answer.

Option (1) is the answer as ferret out is to unearth, search out.

'Owes' and 'willed' are the clue words in this sentence. Private collectors of New York had a longing for art that they willed their estates to the museum. Of all these options, 'yen' (craving, longing) fits our prediction, hence, replaces the blank. 'Entreat' is an expression of desire, hence, it would not be suitable. So, (1) is the answer.

'Philistinism' is being pedantry, conventionalism, conformity, which implies that only a conventional would not have respect for literature and arts in present scenario. Hence, option (1) is the answer.

This is a very simple para jumble. Out of C and A, one has to start the sequence and other has to end, as rest all the statements are linked. Therefore, C initiates the sequence as it introduces the subject of 'Linear mind', and A sums up the idea. This sequence is possible only in one option i.e. (2). Simply to be sure, let's check the sequence according to the option. E follows C, as 'this' in E gives a link to 'another goal' in C & moreover, it begins with 'and', thus, it is in continuation with E. Logically, B follows as it refers to the questions. 'Such state' in D is a link to any state in B. Hence, (2) is the answer.

Let's scrutinize each of the above options: (1) Option (1) is contrary to the passage (last statements - “goals and purpose………… becomes possible” highlights the negative aspect), hence, it is ruled out. (2) This is the answer. The passage discusses that our goals have made us slaves of ourselves and we are not able to run away from them. Goals are being discussed in the passage in the negative sense. What the author tries to explain is stated in option (2), hence, it forms the answer.
(3) This is true according to the option but it is very narrow and satisfies the last three sentences of the passage. Hence, (3) is ruled out. (4) Our jobs (any field) have made us slaves of ourselves. Marketing enterprises narrow down our approach, hence, (4) is also ruled out.

Let us look for links. On close scrutiny, B explains A (It does not support egalitarianism or equality but apporves inequality). C explains B (other religions like islam promote egalitarianism) D must follow C as 'others' in D refer to 'religions' in C. Thus, we have ABCD link. 'Against this' in C gives a contradictory idea to the concepts of Hinduism in AB link, hence, CD follows AB. This link is in (4), thus, it is the answer.

Option (2) is the answer as 'empirical' means relying or based solely on experiment and observation rather than theory.

'Aetiology' is the science of the causes or origins of disease, hence, it is the answer.

Option (1) is in tune with the last statement of the passage, thereby, narrowing down our approach to accountants, which is cited to elaborate on the ethics in finance. Hence, (1) is ruled out. Option (3) is contrary to the passage (“Finance is not … activities” gives the clue), hence, it can be ruled out. Both options (2) and (4) are true according to the passage, thus let's find out the more appropriate option. 'Immense trust' in (4) is one of its essential characteristics, but it narrows down our approach. Therefore, (2) would be more appropriate as it emphasizes on 'ethics in finance' which is more general and cover the entire field of finance. Hence, (2) is the answer.

As 'synopsis' is a statement giving a brief, general review or summary, therefore, it is the answer.

C initiates the sequence as it introduces the subject-'family disorganization'. 'Also' in E further supports statement E, thus, giving us CE link. Statement B explains the concept of family disorganization, therefore, it follows CE. A is an explanation to D, whereas D supports the main thought, thus, we have DA link. Hence, (4) is the answer.

CEF  

Option (3): CDF C à Cactus is found in extremely dry climate. D à Plants in dry climate have thorns and thick leaves. These two combine together and imply that cactus has thorns and thick leaves, which is exactly provided by statement F.
