ਆਮ ਭੁਲੇਖੇ
Never start with a sentence that opens with a pronoun (it/this/they) — it needs an earlier noun.
A sentence with 'thus / so / as a result / therefore' is usually a conclusion, not the opener.
'a/an + noun' comes before 'the + same noun' — the first mention introduces, the later refers back.
Lock obvious pairs first (cause→effect, question→answer), then slot the rest around them.
In S1–S6 questions only the middle four move; don't re-order the given ends.
Always read your chosen order through once — if it jars anywhere, two parts are swapped.
