Key Points The given question is an example of a Para Jumble. We know that the first statement of a para jumbled question is usually an independent general statement, a noun, a universal fact, starting of an incident, or it starts with 'most' or 'once'. Sentence B will be the first sentence because it is an independent general statement. It is talking about a city located in the jungle of southern Mexico that was abandoned more than 1000 years ago. Sentence D will be the next sentence because it further explains Sentence B. It tells us that the abandoned city was named Calakmul. Sentence A will be the next sentence because it tells about the details of Calakmul city, its population, etc. At last, sentence C will be used. Thus, the correct sequence is: B: Deep in the jungle of southern Mexico lie the ruins of a city that thrived for centuries before it was abandoned more than 1,000 years ago. D: Calakmul was once one of the two duelling superpowers-along with Tikal-of the Classical Mayan civilisation.
