Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. BDAC.
- The best way of solving these questions is by finding an introductory sentence or pair of sentences.
- Sentence B introduces us to the fact that people saw a blind man crossing the street.
- Sentence B pairs well with sentence D, saying that on seeing a blind man crossing the road, he walked toward that blind man.
- Sentences D and A further make a pair as it tells us that he reached the blind man, he took him by the hand and led him across the street.
- Lastly, sentence C will follow sentence A saying that the blind man expressed his gratitude with folded hands.
Hence, the most appropriate sequence is 'BDAC'.
