Concept/Grammar rules |
Application |
|
The first sentence always introduces a topic and is independent in its meaning. Sentence B introduces the topic i.e. Fires in Jharia township and thus should be 1st sentence. Sentence C explains the cause of the fire and thus should be 2nd sentence. |
Going with the options, BC is the starting sentence and is in option 1 only. Hence, ‘BCAD’ is the correct answer. |
