This is a sentence-rearrangement/jumbled-words question (3 marks: 1 mark per sentence) testing correct Subject–Verb–Object (SVO) word order.

Key points

• (a) Subject 'It' + verb 'is' + complement 'a sparsely populated town in Uttarakhand'.
• (b) Subject 'It' + verb 'has' + object 'an average literacy rate of 77%'.
• (c) Subject 'Devprayag' + verb 'is' + complement 'the seat of the Badrinath Dham pandas'.

Common mistakes

• Placing the adjective/modifier before the noun incorrectly (e.g., 'populated sparsely').
• Losing the article 'a'/'an' or preposition 'of' while rearranging.
• Reversing subject and complement, e.g., writing 'seat of Badrinath Dham pandas is Devprayag' instead of the natural SVO order.
