Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. BCAD.

  • Statement B introduces the theme of the paragraph that is happiness hence B should be the first statement.
  • Statement C adds more about the happiness hence C should come after B.
  • Statement A that is "Nevertheless, sound health, economic security and mental satisfaction are desired by all." that works as a complement to the statement C hence it should come after C.
  • Statement D will be the last statement as it concludes the paragraph.

Now we have the final arrangement i.e. BCAD.

Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
