Directions : Rearrange the following seven sentences (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F) and (G) in the proper sequence to form a meaningful
paragraph; then answer the questions given below them.
(A) To elaborate briefly on these characteristics and dimensions that the author is talking about —NRMs are general tests intended to
be used to classify students by percentile for measuring either aptitude or proficiency for admissions into or placement within a
programme.
(B) Contrastingly, the CRM, such as a locally produced achievement test, measures absolute performance that is compared only with
the learning objective, hence a perfect score is theoretically obtainable by all students who have a mastery of the pre- specified
material, or conversely, all students may fail the test.
(C) In most of these books, the authors classify a measurement strategy as either norm-referenced (NRM) or criterion-referenced
(CRM).
(D) Another author points out how the type of interpretation that an NRM offers is the relative performance of the students compared
with that of all the others resulting in, ideally, a bell curve distribution.
(E) Numerous books on constructing and using language tests have been written by various authors.
(F) CRMs, on the other hand, are more specific achievement or diagnostic tests intended to be used for motivating students by
measuring to what per cent they have achieved mastery of the taught or learned material.
(G)One of the authors clearly delineates the differences of these two types by focusing on the categories of “test characteristics” and
“logistical dimensions”.
Question 6
Which of the following should be the SECOND sentence after rearrangement?
A. A
B. B
C. C
D. D
E. F
Explanation
Answer: C
Explanation:
The correct order is ECGAFDB. E opens the paragraph by introducing the subject – constructing and using language tests. This is
followed by C, which talks about the different types of measurement strategies. G, which talks about how one author differentiates
between the two measuring strategies comes next. A and F, which talk about each of the measuring strategies in greater detail follow
G. F comes next and it introduces the work of another author. This is followed by B which throws more light on the work of the second author.
So, C is the second sentence.
