Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. CBDA.
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 will be the first sentence. It tells about the make-up room.
- Sentence B will be the next sentence because sentence B explains 'How the make-up room looks'.
- Sentence D further explains the lights 'the make-up room'.
- Lastly, sentence A will be used because it explains a result of the fact stated in sentence D.
The paragraph is: The make-up room had the look of a hair-cutting salon. There were lights at all angles and around half a dozen large mirrors in the room. They were all incandescent lights. So, those subjected to make-up had to face a fiery misery.
Hence, the correct answer is Option 4 i.e. CBDA.
