Answer 1

Hint: The sentences tell a story. The story has to be in the right order. Try to rearrange it in the order that makes the most sense.

Complete answer: The first statement in the sequence should be the one that introduces a new topic. It should not be a continuation or extension of a topic. We already have that sentence. So, the next sentence should be a continuation. This is done by the sentence C. It finishes the first sentence. Then we need a sentence to establish a contradiction. Sentence D is the most fitting for this purpose. Then, we need an event that proves the establishment of the previous statement. This means that we need sentence B next. Then, there is only one sentence left, which is sentence A, which fits perfectly.

Now, we know what we are looking for. Let’s go through the given options:
(a)CDBA - This matches with our order that we just established which means that this is the order we are looking for. This is the required answer. So, this is the correct option.
(b)CBDA - This option starts with the correct sentence, however, the rest of the sentences are incorrectly placed. This is not the order we are looking for. This is not the required answer. So, this is an incorrect option.
(c)CABD - This option starts with the correct sentence, however, the rest of the sentences are incorrectly placed. This is not the order we are looking for. This is not the required answer. So, this is an incorrect option.
(d)CADB - This option starts with the correct sentence, however, the rest of the sentences are incorrectly placed. This is not the order we are looking for. This is not the required answer. So, this is an incorrect option.
Note: Make sure that each sentence aligns with the sentences that come before and after. That will help to choose the order correctly.
