Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. DCBA.

Explanation:

  • The first sentence of the paragraph that looks to be the introductory part is 'D' as it introduces about 'America'.
  • The second sentence is 'C' as it cites one example relating to the first sentence i.e. 'River'.
  • The third sentence is 'B' as it provides some more useful information about the river that was mentioned in the previous sentence.
  • The last sentence that remains to be unjumbled is  'A'.

So, the correct order is DCBA.  Hence, the chosen option is correct.
