Linear Arrangement In this typo of arrangement, wo arrango people or objects in a lino or row. The arrangoment is done only on ‘one ‘axis’ and hence, the position of people or objects assumes importance in terms of order like first position, second position... last position. In this type of arrangement, we take directions according to our deft and right. ‘There are few words which must be paid adequate attention, ie,, ‘between’ means sandwiched, ‘immediate Jeft’is different from ‘to the left’.
