• Noun Pronoun Clue:
  In any given order a sentence referring to a pronoun will always come after a noun. Therefore, whenever we see a pronoun, we should immediately try and fix the noun that it refers to and then place the two statements together. Also make sure that the noun and the pronoun should agree with each other in terms of number and gender.
• Cause - Effect:
  Look for cause (reason) and effect (result) relationship (if any) between the two sentences. The two sentences that are in a cause and effect relation generally appear consecutively. The words like "if..then", "when..then", "whenever", "the reason is", "because", "the cause is" etc. indicate cause and effect relation. Try rearranging these sentences.
  1. This could result in the flooding of low lying coastal areas and cities, such as Egypt, the Netherlands, and Bangladesh
  2. Many problems could result from global warming. One of the biggest problems is rising sea level.
  3. Some countries might even disappear completely
  Now "this" in sentence A must be referring to some noun, and that noun is used in sentence B (biggest problem). Thus A will follow B. And C will further follow A. Hence the correct order will be BAC.
• Chronology:
  In some questions the events mentioned in the paragraph can be arranged in a chronological order and logically construct a paragraph. The timeline may be in hours, years, months or simply constructed using transition words. The words like before, after, later, when, etc. indicate a timeline.
• Full form - Abbreviation:
  This trick is very useful in paragraphs in which both short form or abbreviations and full name are given. In these cases, where both the full form as well as the abbreviation is present in different sentences, then the sentence containing the full form will obviously come before the sentence containing the abbreviation.
• General to Specific:
  Sentence that talks about a specific detail will follow the sentence that gives a general description; in other words, the order of the sentences will move from an introductory sentence to a specific detail provider.
• Question - Answer:
  If there is sentence in the arrangement which is asking a question, then try to figure out a sentence that gives its answer. A sentence asking a question will precede a sentence providing the answer.
