Recap A jumbled sentence can be unscrambled by identifying and
maintaining correct grammatical order between different parts of a sentence such as its subject, verb, object, complement, adverbial adjunct etc.
In complex sentences, identifying the main and the subordinating clauses can help you unscramble a jumbled sentence.
In unscrambling a paragraph and maintain order in it, you need to put in correct sequence the introducers, developers and terminators besides identifying the central idea expressed through the topic sentence in a paragraph.
