Jumbled Sentences
Introduction: Rearrangement of sentences or paragraph anagrams is the most commonly seen question in any language testing exam. It is interesting to know that this question does not examine any previously learnt concepts, neither is it based on any particular logic.

The Subject is a word, or a group of words that denotes the person or thing about whom or which something is said. It must be a noun or a noun-equivalent, and may consist of any number of words.

Word Meanings
Introduction: We come across different words daily. Some words are simple as are normally used regularly, while a few are hard or difficult to understand. Words like, ruin, forecast, principle, etc. are common words. But certain words, like ingenious, adroit, infidel, agnostic, etc. are uncommon words and are difficult to understand. The usage of these words in sentences reduces the chance of easily understanding the text of meaning intended in the sentence. It is therefore very important that you develop a good store of vocabulary which will surely give you a niche in developing your sense of understanding English.

The analogy between the heart and a pump.
