The sentence D is the first sentence of the passage as it introduces the subject i.e. ‘world’s water crises.’ DC is the mandatory pair as it gives the problem and the reason of water crisis. Sentence B gives the number of people living in water-scarce areas. ‘And’ in the sentence A further adds on the fact that 844 million don’t have access to clean water close to home. Hence sentence B is 3rd. Therefore, sentence A becomes the last sentence. |
Hence, the rearranged order is option 4 i.e. DCBA. |
