Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. CBDA.
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:
- The sentence C is independent of any other sentence as it is giving general information about "the contact between the workers and the boss in management". Hence, sentence C is the first part.
- Sentence B will come after C as it is giving information about making the contact between the workers and the boss constructive and productive.
- Sentence D will come after B as it is giving information about inducing constructive conditions.
- The sentence A is the concluding part as it says the contact becomes constructive when the worker has faith in the boss.
- Thus, the correct order after rearrangement is option 1 i.e. CBDA.
The paragraph is: The most vital spot in management is the contact between the workers and the boss. More attention should be paid to making this contact constructive and productive. Constructive conditions prevail when mutual confidence and respect exist between the supervisor and the supervised. This usually results from a conviction on the part of the worker that the boss is genuinely interested in his growth and development.
Hence, the correct answer is Option 1 i.e. CBDA.
