Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. BCAD.
The opening sentence gives us the introduction of the subject in context. That is the launch of a rocket. Hence, Sentence B becomes the first sentence.
The second sentence is C which gives information about the rocket’s speed.
The third sentence is A as it starts with the pronoun ‘at this speed’ which is used for rocket in context.
The last sentence is D which concludes the passage.
Hence, the correct sequence is BCAD.
