Correct answer: E

Concept

In a sentence-rearrangement (para-jumble) item, you test whether the FIVE parts already form a single grammatically correct and meaningful sentence in the GIVEN order. The governing check is logical flow plus syntactic continuity: each part's last words must connect grammatically to the next part's first words (subject -> verb -> object -> modifiers). Only if the given order breaks this flow do you reorder; if it already reads correctly, the answer is "No rearrangement required".

Application

Read the parts in the given order A-B-C-D-E and check each junction:

  1. A -> B: "...a notification that" links to "will enable..." — a relative clause with the verb following "that". Correct.

  2. B -> C: "...tribal and other traditional" links to "forest dwelling families" — adjectives modifying the noun phrase. Correct.

  3. C -> D: "...families to" links to "build houses in the" — the infinitive "to build". Correct.

  4. D -> E: "...in the" links to "neighbourhood forest areas." — article + noun phrase completing the prepositional phrase. Correct.

Joined together, the parts read: "Maharashtra Governor issued a notification that will enable tribal and other traditional forest dwelling families to build houses in the neighbourhood forest areas." This is a complete, grammatically sound, meaningful sentence.

Cross-check

Every alternative ordering breaks an essential link: any sequence that does not begin with the subject part "Maharashtra Governor issued a notification that" leaves a dangling clause, and splitting the "to build" infinitive or the "in the ... areas" phrase produces a fragment. Since the original A-B-C-D-E order is already correct and meaningful, no rearrangement is needed.
