Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. ACBD.
- Statement A is independent and introduces the theme of the paragraph "Gadgets" hence, it will be the opening statement.
- Statement A contains the noun "Remote" and statement C talks about its function hence, C will come after A.
- Statement B talks about the result of "Pressing the button on the remote" hence, it will come after C.
- Finally, D will come at the end of the arrangement.
- Now we have the final arrangement i.e. ACBD.
