Concept/Grammar rules |
Application |
|
The first sentence always introduces a topic and is independent in its meaning.
|
The statement D should be the first sentence as it is an independent sentence and it introduces the theme of the passage i.e. ‘USA’. Sentence B should follow sentence D as it tells about the demographics of the USA. Hence statement B should be the second sentence. The two remaining sentences must have a logical sequence to them. Statement A should be preceded by statement C because A gives the reason for C. Therefore, statement C should be the third sentence. And statement A will come after C. Hence, ‘DBCA’ is the correct answer. |
