C. Once Akbar asked his courtiers a very strange question.
D. The courtiers were dumbfounded by his question.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3, i.e. CDBA.
- The first sentence always introduces a topic and is independent in its meaning.
- The first sentence should be C as it introduces the theme of the passage i.e. ‘question asked by Akbar’.
- Sentence D tells the reactions of his courtiers, thereby, making it the second sentence.
- BA is the mandatory pair as it tells what the courtiers did when he looked at them.
- Hence, ‘CDBA’ is the correct answer.
