Concept/Grammar rules |
Application |
|
The first sentence always introduces a topic and is independent in its meaning. The sentence C is the first sentence of the passage as it introduces the subject i.e. ‘water pollution caused due to plastic’. ‘AD’ is a mandatory pair because it mentions that the plastic which enters the sea is not biodegradable. Sentence 'B' sounds as a conclusive line of the paragraph. |
Hence, the rearranged order is CADB. |
