Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. CDBA.
Sentence ‘C’ is clearly the opening sentence, since it introduces the topic of the paragraph i.e, what the person had learnt in his first year. CD is the mandatory pair as it further tells about his first year experience, 'No matter what anyone tells you, ...'.
Part B will follow it which talks about 'Also, jotting down notes for your seniors on ward rounds is probably not the most important thing....'
The concluding sentence is sentence A as it talks about the most helpful thing he had learned as an experience.
The Correct paragraph formed will be:-
My first year as a doctor in U.K. is over and this is what I have learnt. No matter what anyone tells you, writing that urgent discharge summary is not the most important thing you will do today. Also, jotting down notes for your seniors on ward rounds is probably not the most important thing. The most helpful thing you can do is to hold someone’s hand when they most need it.
