Rearrange the following eight sentences/groups of sentences (A), (B), (C),…

Concept

In a para-jumble, first identify the sentence that introduces the central idea without depending on earlier context. Then follow discourse markers and references: an enumerator such as “Firstly” begins the first point, “another” introduces a later point, examples and consequences follow the claims they support, and a conclusion closes the paragraph.

Application

1. C introduces the topic and announces that studying abroad has two benefits, so it opens the paragraph.

2. G begins with “Firstly” and states the first benefit: better job opportunities. It therefore follows C.

3. B begins with “This is because” and explains why studying abroad improves job prospects, so it follows G.

4. H continues the employment point by describing higher-paid jobs and quicker promotion, so it follows B.

5. D uses “Another advantage” to introduce the second benefit, independence, after the employment benefit has been developed.

6. A begins with “For example” and illustrates how students gain independence by living alone and meeting people from different cultures.

7. F begins with “As a consequence” and states the result of those challenges: greater confidence in life and relationships.

8. E begins with “All in all” and summarizes the two benefits, so it closes the paragraph.

Contrast

• A depends on the claim about independence because “For example” introduces an illustration.

• D signals an additional benefit through “Another advantage,” so it cannot precede the first benefit.

• E signals a conclusion through “All in all,” so it belongs at the end.

• F signals a consequence and therefore requires the preceding example and its challenges.

Cross-check

The connector chain C → G → B → H → D → A → F → E gives one introduction, two developed benefits, and a final conclusion without any unresolved reference.

Therefore, sentence G is the second sentence after rearrangement.
