Concept/Grammar rules |
Application |
|
The first sentence always introduces a topic and is independent in its meaning.
|
Sentence C should be the first sentence as it introduces the theme of the passage i.e. ‘belief of having and walking a dog was good for older people’. Sentence B should be the second sentence as it tells the reason why keeping a dog is a good option. Sentence A further tells that keeping a god can have its own cons, thereby, becoming the third sentence of the passage. Sentence D aptly concludes the passage. Hence, ‘CBAD’ is the correct answer. |
