Explanation

Concept/Grammar rules

Application

The first sentence always introduces a topic and is independent in its meaning.

 

 

Sentence B should be the first sentence as it introduces the theme of the passage i.e. ‘grounding of entire global fleet of Boeing’s 737 Max aircraft'.

Sentence A should be the second sentence as it further tells the reason of grounding of the global fleet.

Sentence D follows the second sentence telling that it was the second time in five months a 737 Max has crashed.

Sentence C aptly concludes the passage.

Hence, ‘BADC’ is the correct answer.
