Concept: Find the pronoun links: each sentence must point back to something already mentioned.
- A introduces the reindeer barn. C says 'He had to clean it' – 'it' = the barn, so C follows A.
- E ('such a dirty job to mop, slop, scour…') describes that cleaning, so C → E.
- B adds a second duty with 'also' – keep the reindeer groomed; D explains how ('bath and brush their fur').
- F ends the story: he worked hard but no one cared. Order: A-C-E-B-D-F.
Trick: 'Also' always introduces the second task, so B can never come before the first task (C).
Answer: (B) ACEBDF
अवधारणा: Pronoun और connector से वाक्यों का क्रम पहचानें।
- A में reindeer barn आया; C में 'clean it' – 'it' = barn, इसलिए A के बाद C।
- E ('dirty job to mop, scour…') उसी सफाई का वर्णन है, इसलिए C → E।
- B में 'also' दूसरा काम बताता है (reindeer groom करना); D बताता है कैसे (bath, brush)।
- F निष्कर्ष है। क्रम: A-C-E-B-D-F।
ट्रिक: 'also' वाला वाक्य हमेशा पहले काम के बाद आता है, इसलिए B, C से पहले नहीं आ सकता।
उत्तर: (B) ACEBDF
