1) Answer: A
The first sentence should seem like an introduction to the topic. D seems to be right in this case as it is written in a manner to introduce the topic, a discovery of Denisovan DNA.
B talks about the spot where the discovery was made. E talks about the importance of the discovery as it was done outside of Siberia’s Denisova Cave. Further, statement A picks up where fragment E has left off and they make sense together. A talks about the possibilities of Denisovans surviving on the Tibetan Plateau.
After reading all the sentences, statement A seems to be the most appropriate choice for the fourth sentence. It speaks about the cave sediment and its date.
Hence, the correct sequence of statements is: DBEAC

5) Answer: C
6) Answer: D
Here, if we look closely, we can see that neither part B nor part C follows the continuation of the sentence. So either A or B will be the answer. A can’t be the answer because ‘whoever’ is not appropriate here. So D is the answer as ‘whomever’ is there. Also D follows the continuation of the sentence.
Remember: If _______ (noun/pronoun), whom/ whomever will fit in the blank.
If _______ (verb), who/ whoever will fit the blank
Therefore the correct answer choice to this question is option D.
7) Answer: C
Here if we look closely, A, B and D doesn’t follow the continuation of the sentence. Only option C follows sentence continuation and also the word ‘expected’ suits the blank.
Therefore the correct answer choice to this question is option C.
8) Answer: B
If we look closely, we can’t start a sentence with D. Then, sentence A and C is devoid of continuation. So only B follows the desired sequence. Also, ‘tampered’ serves as the perfect word to be used in the blank.
Therefore the correct answer choice to this question is option B.
9) Answer: A
If we look closely, the sentence cannot start with D. Sentence B and C lacks continuation of the sentence. So only option A displays continuation and the word ‘necessity’ fills the blank.
Therefore the correct answer to this question is option A.
10) Answer: B
If we look closely, sentence can’t be started with C. Also, option A doesn’t follow continuation. Thereafter, option B and D remains. The sequence in both the sentences is same. But option B is correct because ‘a few’ is appropriate in the blank.
Remember, ‘few’ means nothing; ‘a few’ means some; ‘the few’ means sufficient.
Therefore the correct option to this question is B.
