Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. DCBA.
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 D will be the first sentence because it is an independent general statement telling us about the cost of a product.
- Sentence C will be the next sentence because it is connected with the previous sentence.
- Sentence B will be the next sentence because it is talking about the retailer who plays an important link between the producer and the consumer.
- Lastly, sentence A will be used.
- Thus, the correct order after rearrangement is option 2 i.e. DCBA.
The paragraph is: The retailer determines the final cost of a product. It is he who promotes or impedes the sale of products. As the final link between the producer and the consumer, he plays a key role in the economy. His role also includes the smooth flow of goods from farms and factories to the consumer.
Hence, the correct answer is Option 2 i.e. DCBA.
