C. So, one has to be very cautious and skilful.
D. It was quite popular during the days of the Nawabs.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4, i.e. ADBC.
- Sentence A introduces us to the main context of the passage, which is about flying kites. Hence, this will appear as the first statement.
- Sentence D shall follow as the next one beacuse it adjoins more meaning to the previously introduced hobby, denoting it by using the pronoun 'it' and hence continuing the meaning of the information presented by the previous statement.
- Sentence B will appear at third place because it adds more information to the aforementioned sport, but with a twist (negative aspect). This change in perspective/detail makes it liable to appear at third place.
- Sentence C follows up next as it adjoins details with the fact mentioned by the previous statement, that is the thing about people's requirement to be cautious and skillfull since this sport involves certain risks.
This arrangement provides a sequential flow of narration, where the details/information gets added fluently without losing any sense/meaning as the passage/story progresses.
