Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. CADB.
While arranging the parts of the passage, we should find some grammatical or contextual connections between them. Also, the first sentence of a passage is usually independent and introduces a topic. The second one provides more information about it.
Steps to arrange the sentences in the correct order to form a meaningful and coherent paragraph:
-
Sentence C introduces us to the subject 'God and the way he made the human body'. It is the introductory sentence and will be put in the first place.
-
Sentence A tells us about God's condition while making ears. It will be put in second place.
-
Sentence D tells us about the human ear as the most vulnerable part of the body. It will be put in third place.
-
The last sentence is B as it mentions the human's pursuit of silence.
- Thus, the correct order after rearrangement is option 2 i.e. CADB.
The paragraph is: God constructed the human body with a lot of forethought and solicitude. But he seems to have become weary when it came to the ears. He left them as the most vulnerable part of a human being. The result is that we spend all our hours hankering after something unattainable, namely silence.
Hence, the correct answer is Option 2 i.e. CADB.
