Rearrange the following sentences in a logical order to form a coherent paragraph.

(A) The main application of aerodynamics is in aviation.
(B) The concept of flight was established by Leonardo da Vinci, who made sketches of devices similar to the modern helicopter and hang-glider.
(C) Aerodynamic analysis is also used to study the effect that wind will have on such artificial structures as bridges and tower block, on the flow of steam in turbines, or on the operation of wind-power generators.
(D) Although Leonardo's ideas were well ahead of their time, they were doomed to failure, as the principles of aerodynamics were unknown.
(E) Aerodynamics (Greek, “study of the power of air) is the study of the flow of air or gases in motion.

Rearrange the following sentences in a logical order to form a coherent paragraph.

(A) In literary criticism, the effective fallacy assumes that works can be read not as independent structures, but in terms of their emotional or other effects on their readers.
(B) In other words, the preconceptions we bring to our reading of any literary work.
(C) Our cultural, emotional and verbal baggage, as well as that of our society and of the author-are part of the meaning of the text as we perceive it, and cannot be dissociated from our perception.
(D) *Non-affective reading, by contrast, excludes all such external associations and concentrates solely on what is in the actual text.

Rearrange the following sentences in a logical order to form a coherent paragraph.

(A) The concept of the affluent society, used to describe post-1945 democratic welfare capitalist societies, was pioneered by the Canadian economist, John Kenneth Galbraith.
(B) He argued that a long-term unintended consequence of economic growth in Western democracies was the simultaneous development of private affluence and public squalor.
(C) While very efficient in encouraging the demand for private goods and services, including consumer-durables, liberal-democratic capitalist societies are prone to under-supply public goods, like education, public health, environmental protection, and public transport.
(D) Galbraith later embellished this argument: because modern liberal democracies contain satisfied majorities, which have the skills and resources to avoid poverty, a 'culture of contentment has developed, hostile to active and progressively redistributive big government.
(E) Whereas in the earliest electoral democratic systems, the poor comprised (potential) electoral majorities, affluent or contented societies are likely to be content with tax-cutting conservative administrations.

Rearrange the following sentences in a logical order to form a coherent paragraph.

(A) The main application of aleatory techniques is in the performing arts, and particularly in music.
(B) Aleatory music is, in conception, similar to both Far Eastern art music and to jazz and rock, all of which involve improvisation, on an agreed basis, as a feature of the performance.
(C) In art music, 20th century composers as significant as Pierre Boulez, Gyorgi Ligeti, Witold Lutoslawski and Karlheinzz Stockhausen use aleatory techniques as an integral, and entirely accepted, component of their work.
(D) In aleatory music the players are encouraged to choose the sequence of movements, sections or individual chords and notes, or to improvise on a pattern or idea suggested by the composer- for example, in Ligeti's Aventures, on letters of the alphabet, and in Lutoslawski's Preludes and Fugue, on a series of lines, squares and triangles.
(E) Thus, the result differs from player to player and from performer to performer.

Rearrange the following sentences in a logical order to form a coherent paragraph.

(A) In the development of numbers, algebraic numbers come in generality between the rational numbers and the real numbers. A rational number is one that can be expressed in the form p/q, where p and q are integers and q is non-zero.
(B) Suppose that there was a rational number whose square was b. It can be written in its lowest terms as plq (this means that p and q have no common factors). So (p/q) = p?lq2 = 2.
(C) The Greeks discovered the alarming fact (to them) that not all numbers are rational, through a classic use of the technique of proof by contradiction.
(D) So, cancelling by 2, we see that 2 x p2 = 7?, which means that 2 also divides q. So 2 divides both p and q, contradicting that plq was in its lowest terms. So, the original assumption must be false.
(E) Therefore, p?= 2 xq?, so that 2 divides p? and therefore p (this is because 2 is a prime number). So we write p as 2 x r, and, rewriting the original equation, (2 x 1)2 = 4 x p = 2 xq?

Rearrange the following sentences in a logical order to form a coherent paragraph.

(A) Religious allegory was especially popular in medieval Europe, when stories of love, descriptions of nature and tales of heroic adventure were all allegorized to have a deeper, Christian meaning.
(B) Allegories may also be philosophical and political.
(C) Allegory is a form of irony; one in which the added meanings are generally more significant than the events from which they are grafted.
(D) Typical examples are versions of the Holy Grail and Parsifal legends, in which knights stand for the beleaguered Christian soul, dragons and wizards for the Devil and his minions, and attainment of the goal is overlaid with images of transfiguration and ascension into heaven.

Rearrange the following sentences in a logical order to form a coherent paragraph.

(A) Trance states can be defined according to the degree of interaction believed to occur between the individual, who is in an altered state, and the spirit realm.
(B) Modern Psychology locates these changes as arising within the psyche, while other cultures explain them in terms of changes in external reality, such as access to a spirit realm or extrahuman power.
(C) Altered states of Consciousness is an umbrella term for describing physical and mental states which are not considered part of ordinary experience.
(D) In states of possession, the spirit is assumed to be in control of the person, who acts as the bodily vehicle by means of which the spirit can communicate.
(E) They occur in many societies in connection with mystical practices, ecstatic and trance states.

Rearrange the following sentences in a logical order to form a coherent paragraph.

(A) As this fact becomes clearer, governments and individuals have begun to look at different propositions in order to save on energy costs.
(B) With the environmental problems as well as the finite supplies of the four energy sources, more time and research is being spent on alternative sources of energy.
(C) At this present time, the main sources of energy available to the Westernized culture are oil, gas, coal and nuclear power.
(D) It has become apparent over the past thirty years that the total energy from a fuel source has to be maximized to its full potential, in order to save money and mineral resources.

Rearrange the following sentences in a logical order to form a coherent paragraph.

(A) The statement "all bachelors are male' is analytically true because it is true solely in virtue of its meaning "bachelor' means ‘unmarried adult male'. The   statement 'some spinsters are married' is analytically false because it is false solely in virtue of its meaning-spinster' means unmarried adult female'.

(B) A statement in analytical just if it is true or false solely in virtue of its meaning.

(C)  Whether this statement is true or false depends not only on what it means but also on facts about John on whether or not he is married and an adult.

(D) A statement is synthetic just if it is not true or false solely in virtue of its meaning. The statement 'John is a bachelor' is synthetic because it is not true or false solely in virtue of its meaning
