1. Para Jumble: Story Sequence

   Arrange the following sentences into a logical sequence: A) He opened his umbrella, B) The sky grew dark, C) Suddenly it began to rain, D) John was walking home.

   1. C, B, D, A
   2. A, D, B, C
   3. B, D, C, A
   4. D, B, C, A

   Explanation: The logical order starts with 'John was walking home,' followed by 'The sky grew dark,' then 'Suddenly it began to rain,' and finally 'He opened his umbrella.' The other options either disrupt the natural flow or place the action of opening the umbrella before the rain, which doesn't make sense contextually. Correct sequencing ensures that each event follows logically from the previous one.

2. Odd-One-Out: Animal Habitats

   Which of the following does not belong with the others: Tiger, Lion, Whale, Leopard?

   1. Lion
   2. Leopard
   3. Whale
   4. Tiger

   Explanation: Whale is the odd one out because it is an aquatic animal while the others are land-dwelling big cats. Tiger, Lion, and Leopard all belong to the feline family and share similar habitats and characteristics. Choosing 'Leopard' or the other big cats would not be accurate since they all belong together. Whale stands apart due to its marine environment.

3. Para Jumble: Scientific Discovery

   Arrange the following sentences to form a logical paragraph: A) He experimented using different materials, B) Thomas Edison was determined to create a practical light bulb, C) Many attempts failed before success, D) Finally, a carbon filament worked efficiently.

   1. B, D, C, A
   2. A, B, D, C
   3. B, A, C, D
   4. C, B, A, D

   Explanation: The paragraph logically begins with Edison's determination, follows with his experiments, then notes his failures, and ends with his eventual success using a carbon filament. The other sequences disrupt the chronological order or place results before efforts. Proper arrangement relies on cause and effect, making option one the clear choice.

4. Odd-One-Out: Geographical Terms

   Select the statement that does NOT fit with the other terms: Mountain, River, Glacier, Car?

   1. River
   2. Glacier
   3. Car
   4. Mountain

   Explanation: Car is the odd one out because it's a vehicle, not a geographical feature. Mountain, River, and Glacier are all natural landforms commonly discussed in physical geography. Offering 'Mountain', 'River', or 'Glacier' would not be correct since they all belong to the same category, whereas 'Car' is unrelated and stands apart.

5. Para Jumble: Festival Preparation

   Arrange these sentences to form a coherent sequence about a festival: A) Colorful lights were set up everywhere, B) People cleaned their homes, C) Delicious sweets were prepared, D) The town looked magical at night.

   1. B, A, D, C
   2. B, C, A, D
   3. C, A, B, D
   4. A, D, C, B

   Explanation: The logical sequence starts with cleaning homes, then preparing sweets, followed by decorating with lights, and concludes with the magical appearance at night. Other options either place decoration or the town's appearance before preparation, disrupting the process of getting ready for a festival. The correct option reflects the typical festival preparation order.
