D. For each different vegetable, you need to fix a different blade.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. BADC.
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 B is the independent sentence and introduces the topic of the passage which deals with appliances like food processors. So, sentence B is the first sentence after rearrangement and it talks about how such appliances come with different attachments.
- Sentence A talks about how some attachments are cumbersome to use and hence is a continuation of sentence B. Hence, A follows B.
- Sentence D points out what makes the attachments cumbersome and hence is the third sentence.
- So, sentence C is the concluding sentence as it further explains the point made in sentence D.
- Thus, the correct order after rearrangement is option 2 i.e. BADC.
The paragraph is: Appliances like food processors come with a load of attachments. Some of these attachments can be quite cumbersome to use. For each different vegetable, you need to fix a different blade. But, finding the right blade and fixing it in the right slot can be quite a job.
Hence, the correct answer is Option 2 i.e. BADC.
