Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. DCAB
- The best approach to go about such a question is by finding out an opening statement then followed by pair of sentences.
- Clearly, Sentence D is telling about 'Mount Agung', hence it will be the introductory/ opening sentence.
- Sentence C is further adding to Sentence D by telling about the expected volcano eruption in two days.
- Sentence A will pair up with Sentence C as it states that more than 1,34,000 people have evacuated to safe areas.
- Sentence B is the closing statement because it is in continuation of Sentence A, as it states that evacuated people have moved far to safe places.
The correct sentence is-
Mount Agung is a volcano on the popular tourist island of Bali in Indonesia. The volcano is expected to erupt within two days. More than 134,000 people have been evacuated to safe areas. They are now far away from the volcano.
