Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. CBAD.
Explanation:
- The first sentence will always be the one that initiates a topic. So, the sentence that looks to be a topic initiator is 'C' i.e. A dispute once arose between the wind and the sun to decide which was the stronger of the two.
- The second sentence that seems to be a continuation of the previous one is 'B'.
- The next sentence is 'A' as it explains the test that was mentioned in the previous sentence.
- The last sentence is 'D' as it concludes the sentence with the result.
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
