The questions on English Para Jumbles in CAT exam are approximately four to five questions. The difficulty level of the questions in CAT exam is moderate. Candidates must practice questions to master the trick of arranging sentences in coherent paragraph.

Rearrangement refers to change the order of sentences (parajumbles) or words to form a structured or coherent sentence. There are several approaches to form a correct sentence or paragraph that one must follow.

Grammatically, in home and at home are correct. However, their usage varies in terms of context. The use of 'at home' shows something or someone is located in the home. However, 'in home' describes something that happens in the home. For more clarity, have a look at the examples below:

• At home: I left the keys at home.
• In home: The keys are placed over the refrigerator in home.

In and at are the prepositions of place in English grammar. The preposition 'in' is used to describe a place with is inside a bigger space and for referring to country, states and cities. For example, The candies are kept in the box. On the other hand, the 'at' preposition describes the precise location, map location, place of work, street address and for event. For example, The pawn shop is at the corner of the street.

• On: The plate is on the kitchen slab.
• At: The car is parked at the station.
• Under: Yohan threw the toys under the bed.
• Over: The dog jumped over the barrier.

In English grammar, the Superlative Degree of Comparison compares three or more things and people. Examples are:

• This is the most beautiful move I have ever seen
• He runs the fastest in the team
• He is the smartest student in the class
• This is the most challenging Math problem I had to solve
• She is most helpful person I know
• I will buy the least expensive pen from that bundle
• The tallest mountain in the world is Mount Everest
• They had the most fun during the Christmas break
• Richa's house is the biggest one in her colony
• Today was the hottest day of June so far

Since there are three types of degree of comparison: Positive, Comparative, and Superlative, the formation of each type of sentence is done following different structure. The structure for each of the degrees of comparison is given below:

• Positive: subject + verb + positive adjective /adverb + rest of the sentence
• Comparative: subject + verb + comparative adjective + than + object
• Superlative: subject + verb + the superlative adjective / adverb + rest of the sentence

Implied metaphors, mixed metaphors, dead metaphors are considered as special cases of metaphor. More than special cases, these are more of different ways in which the concept of metaphor is applied and interpreted in English language.
