Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3, i.e. DACB.
- Sentence D provides an introduction to the subject of the passage, which in our case is minimalist. The context is also introduced through this first line.
- Sentence A denotes a relation to the first sentence. We can figure that out through the usage of the conjunction 'also'. So, A will appear as the second statement.
- Sentence C uses an adverb 'further' to qualify or add more meaning to the aforementioned subject/meaning/context. In other words, more detail is being added to the passage which makes C suitable in the third place.
- Sentence B ends with a conclusive note. We can vividly understand that through the usage of another adverb 'finally' which means 'end' of the overall statement.
This arrangement is the correct answer as the fluency and the sequence of narration are maintained. The grammar is in balance as well, which makes the passage sound correct.
