Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. DBAC.
Sentence ‘D’ is clearly the opening sentence, since it introduces the topic of the paragraph ' peepal tree in Bodhgaya in Bihar’ DB is the mandatory pair as it further tells about the origin of that peepal tree, 'The original tree is no longer there.'
Part A will follow it which talks about 'But a sprig was taken and planted in one of the hills of Sri Lanka.'
The concluding sentence is sentence C as it talks about the sprig of the original tree. i.e, 'That sprig grew into a tree and is called Maha Bodhi tree.'
