IPMAT Indore 2025 previous year question on Para Jumbles, with the answer and a step-by-step solution.
The sentences given below, when properly sequenced, form a coherent paragraph. Each sentence is labelled with a number. Decide on the most logical order and enter the sequence of numbers in the space provided.
When we take time to notice these moments, we discover hidden beauty that sparks our creative thoughts because creativity isn’t just about rare, amazing events—it’s also about finding the special in the ordinary.
Creativity is often seen as the ability to look at the world in a new way—to turn everyday sights, sounds, and experiences into art or ideas.
In fact, inspiration can come from small details of daily life: the gentle warmth of morning sunlight on a kitchen counter, the steady sound of traffic outside, or the brief smile of a stranger on a busy street.
Many people wrongly think that true creativity only comes from big ideas or exciting adventures.
Answer & solution
Answer: 2431
Step 1 — find the opener. Sentence 2 defines the topic — “Creativity is often seen as…”. A definition of the subject is the natural starting point, and no other sentence can precede a definition.
Step 2 — introduce the misconception. Sentence 4 says “Many people wrongly think…”. Flagging an error sets up a correction, so it must come before that correction.
Step 3 — deliver the correction. Sentence 3 opens with “In fact,” — the standard marker for contradicting a misconception. It corrects sentence 4 by listing small everyday details. The 4 → 3 pair is the strongest link in the set.
Step 4 — conclude. Sentence 1 refers to “these moments”, which can only be the small details itemised in sentence 3. It also closes by restating the paragraph’s thesis — “finding the special in the ordinary” — which is classic concluding behaviour.
Step 5 — the sequence.
2\to 4\to 3\to 1
