Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. BADC.
The first sentence always introduces a topic and is independent in its meaning.
The first statement should be B i.e. 'Environmental groups have tagged the Philippines as one of the world's biggest ocean polluters due to its reliance on single-use plastic.' It gives an introduction to what is being talked about in the following statements.
After B, it should be A i.e. 'That sort of pollution, which is also widespread in other southeast Asian nations, regularly kills wildlife like whales and turtles that ingest the waste.' In the previous statement, ocean pollution was mentioned so, B gives the consequences of this pollution.
After A, it should be D as it talks about a case in the Philippines and after D, it should be C as it talks about a case in Thailand and seems to be a concluding line of the paragraph.
Hence, the correct and rearranged order is BADC.
