Identifying the main idea of the paragraphs will help you to re-order the paragraphs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next, try to find the topic sentence of the paragraph. The topic sentence is a clear statement related to the topic, and all the other sentences will contain information about the topic sentences. The topic sentence will not start with any linter or pronoun related to some previous information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This question will also test your reading skills only, and you will get full marks if you arrange the paragraphs in the correct order.
