Concept:Understand the meanings of the four bold words and place them correctly in the sentence to form a logical and grammatical sequence.
Explanation:The words are:
(A) slumber – light sleep
(B) recent – happening not long ago
(C) gruesome – horrible, causing horror
(D) spree – a period of unrestrained activity
First blank: should be a noun that fits before “of student suicides”. “Spree” (a series of activities) works: “the spree of student suicides”.
Second blank: before “murders” – an adjective describing murders. “Gruesome murders” is correct.
Third blank: before “times” – an adjective describing times. “Recent times” is correct.
Fourth blank: after “jolted people out of their” – a noun that fits the idiom “jolted out of their slumber”. So “slumber” fits.
Thus the correct order is D (spree), C (gruesome), B (recent), A (slumber) → DCBA.
Answer:Option B: DCBA.
The rearranged sentence: The spree of student suicides and gruesome murders by students in Telangana in recent times have jolted people out of their slumber.
