You have to rearrange the other parts of the sentence to make it contextually and grammatically correct and if the correct option of the sequence doesn’t match any of the given sequence mark (5) i.e., “None of the above” as your answer.
The first thing you can do is to measure your progress. (A)/ And it is impossible to know that without getting feedback. (B)/ Your brain has a natural desire to know whether or not you are making progress toward your goals, (C)/ Focus often fades because of lack of feedback. (D)/ From a practical standpoint, this means that we need to measure our results. (E)
CorrectExplanation:
The correct answer is option 3, i.e. ADCBE.
Concept/Grammar Rules Application The sentences must be realigned in a way that makes a meaningful statement as a result. Option 3, i.e. ADCBE here seems to be the best sequence as it conforms to the entire theme of the passage. Taking part “A” as fixed, Part “D” seems to be succeeding this specific statement by showing conjunction. Part “D” seems to portray conjunction with the first statement by talking about how the focus is Lost if it does not get feedback. Further, among the remaining parts, part “C” seems to precede “E” as part “E” seems to end the statement while showing conjunction with part “C”.
So, we got a sequence i.e. ADCBE and the correct formation of the statement will be “The first thing you can do is to measure your progress. Focus often fades because of a lack of feedback. Your brain has a natural desire to know whether or not you are making progress toward your goals, and it is impossible to know that without getting feedback.

It is possible, for example, to watch TV while cooking dinner or to answer an email while talking on the phone. What is impossible, however, is concentrating on two tasks at once. You’re either listening to the TV and the overflowing pot of pasta is background noise, or you’re tending to the pot of pasta and the TV is background noise. “

English LanguageIn the following questions, a statement is divided into 5 different segments and the parts may not be in the correct sequence. You have to rearrange the other parts of the sentence to make it contextually and grammatically correct and if the correct option of the sequence doesn’t match any of the given sequence mark (5) i.e., “None of the above” as your answer.
Most people don’t have trouble with focusing. (A)/ You got it done because the deadline made the decision for you. (B)/ What I mean is that most healthy humans have a brain that is capable of focusing if we get the distractions out of the way. (C)/ Have you ever had a task that you absolutely had to get done? What happened? (D)/ They have trouble deciding. (E)
CorrectExplanation:
Concept/Grammar Rules Application The sentences must be realigned in a way that makes a meaningful statement as a result. Option 4, i.e. AECDB here seems to be the best sequence as it conforms to the entire theme of the passage. Taking part “A” as fixed, Part “E” seems to be succeeding in this specific statement by showing conjunction. Part “E” seems to portray conjunction with the first statement by stating how the human mind can focus nicely once distractions are removed. Further, among the remaining parts, part “D” seems to precede “B” as part “B” seems to end the statement while showing conjunction with part “D”.

(D)/ You always have the option to do something else later, but in the present moment, focus requires that you only do one thing. (E)
CorrectExplanation:
Concept/Grammar Rules Application The sentences must be realigned in a way that makes a meaningful statement as a result. Option 3, i.e. ADCBE here seems to be the best sequence as it conforms to the entire theme of the passage. Taking part “A” as fixed, Part “D” seems to be succeeding in this specific statement by showing conjunction. Part “D” seems to portray conjunction with the first statement by summarising in the first sentence that elimination is the first thing needed that is needed for focus. Further, among the remaining parts, part “C” seems to precede “E” as part “E” seems to end the statement while showing conjunction with part “C”.
