Solutions:

S1. Ans. (c)
Sol. The final sequence is CADBFE.
(C) provides the introduction for the paragraph ‘seat-sharing talks between the BJP and the JD (U)’. Hence, it should be the first sentence of the coherent paragraph.
(A) introduces a JD (U) leader Mr. R.C.P. Singh which the statements (D), (E) and (F), which mention or refer to Mr. Singh, don’t. So, (A) must precede the statements (D), (E) and (F).
Now, among (A) and (B), which one should be the second sentence of the paragraph?
The statement (A) quotes the leader who reiterates the theme of the paragraph “The seat-sharing arrangement with the BJP is in the final and last stage…” So, (A) qualifies (C) better than (B). So, (A) should be the second sentence.
Which one should be the third sentence? The statement (D) qualifies Mr. Singh, and so, it should immediately follow (A) because (A) introduces R.C.P. Singh. So, (D) should be the THIRD sentence.
Hence, we get the sub-sequence CAD.
The statement F starts with ‘Mr. Singh’, while the statement (E) starts with a pronoun ‘He’. A pronoun usually appears only after its antecedent is introduced. The statement (F) introduces Mr. Singh while the statement (E) uses the pronoun ‘he’.
Now, thinks, what would be the need to re-introduce Mr. Singh when he is already introduced and appears till the statement D?
Such need would only arise only when a sentence introduces something completely different aspect to the paragraph without mentioning and/or referring to Mr. Singh. That sentence is (B).
So, (B) should be the Fourth sentence. After the appearance of (B) as the fourth sentence, there would be a need to re-introduce Mr. Singh to convey the additional information conveyed by Mr. Singh.
Now, among (F) and (E), we have already decided why (F) should be the FIFTH sentence (because, it re-introduces Mr. Singh).
Now, (E) must be the LAST sentence.
Hence, the final sequence is CADBFE. Therefore, option (c) is the most suitable answer choice.

S2. Ans. (a)
Sol. The final sequence is CADBFE.
(C) provides the introduction for the paragraph ‘seat-sharing talks between the BJP and the JD (U)’. Hence, it should be the first sentence of the coherent paragraph.

Now, among (A) and (B), which one should be the second sentence of the paragraph?
The statement (A) quotes the leader who reiterates the theme of the paragraph “The seat-sharing arrangement with the BJP is in the final and last stage…” So, (A) qualifies (C) better than (B). So, (A) should be the second sentence.
Which one should be the third sentence? The statement (D) qualifies Mr. Singh, and so, it should immediately follow (A) because (A) introduces R.C.P. Singh. So, (D) should be the THIRD sentence.
Hence, we get the sub-sequence CAD.
The statement F starts with ‘Mr. Singh’, while the statement (E) starts with a pronoun ‘He’. A pronoun usually appears only after its antecedent is introduced. The statement (F) introduces Mr. Singh while the statement (E) uses the pronoun ‘he’.
