d. CDEAB

Answer 1

Hint: The above statements are trying to clarify about the hopes of the people from the new government. The newly elected government has only initiated changes in the existing policies and programs but its main focus is on big time reforms.

Complete step-by-step answer:

We always begin a paragraph with a common noun or a proper noun. Thereafter, the noun changes into a pronoun and expresses a continued thought or a meaning.
The C part should be the introductory sentence, as we get to know the main conclusion or the topic of the paragraph.
Let’s look at the given options:
a)BCDAE- A paragraph cannot begin with ‘but’. The paragraph has been rearranged illogically in an imbalance way. Hence, it is an incorrect option.
b)AEDCB- We cannot begin a paragraph with a pronoun unless we have already described it or used it as a noun. Hence, it is an incorrect option.
c)DABCE- We cannot begin a paragraph with ‘so far’. The paragraph has been rearranged inaccurately. Hence, it is an incorrect option.
d)CDEAB- The given paragraph has been rearranged accurately in a balanced manner as it begins with a common noun. Hence, it is the correct option.
The correct answer is Option ‘d’.

Note: Try to understand the meaning behind the passage and focus on the thoughts and messages expressed by it. Do not begin a paragraph with a pronoun unless specified.
