Direction (6-10): Given bellow are six statements A, B, C, D, E and F, which when arranged in the correct order, form a coherent and meaningful paragraph. The sentence marked as B is fixed and would fit in the Second position. Rearrange the other statements in a proper sequence to form a meaningful paragraph, then answer the questions bellow.
A) If it is clear at the start of September that Boris Johnson won’t budge on his impossible negotiation demands, and that the EU won’t negotiate, we will be rapidly heading for no deal.
B) Now a Conservative government’s central policy will not just crash the pound, but also ends Britain’s manufacturing and agriculture overnight and block half the country’s transportation of food and medicines – and it shows no shame whatsoever.
C) A run on the pound was once the kind of event that troubled a prime minister. If it was shown to be the direct result of a policy the prime minister refused to change, it might even have unseated them. No longer.
D) Revocation has, understandably, been considered Brexit’s nuclear button. Remainers in parliament have been unwilling to vote for it or even discuss it. But it may prove the only way to stop the catastrophe of no deal.

Answers :
1) Answer: a)
Option A is correct as it represents the correct combination of alternatives.

The statement is grammatically and contextually correct. So No improvement is required.
3) Answer: e)
The statement is grammatically and contextually correct. So No improvement is required.
4) Answer: b)
Option B is correct as it represents the correct combination of alternatives.
‘Revoked’ and ‘revealed’ are both suitable for the 2nd blank. ‘Promoted’ does not make any contextual sense for the 1st blank.
5) Answer: b)
Option B is correct as it represents the correct combination of alternatives.
‘Vengeance’ means punishment inflicted or retribution exacted for an injury or wrong; so it is not suitable for the 3rd blank. ‘Dispute’ is suitable for the 3rd blank.
