Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. CDBA.
The paragraph starts with the general statement "It is said that health is wealth" (sentence 1), which sets the theme.
Then, we move to sentence C, which explains why health is important - "A healthy person can do his work well." This sentence elaborates on the idea presented in sentence 1.
Sentence D comes next, describing how the person in question maintains his health - "He reads about medical columns in newspapers and watches television programs." This provides more context about the person's approach to health.
Sentence B follows, stating that "He doesn't talk about his health." This sentence adds an interesting aspect to the person's character, indicating that he doesn't boast about his good health.
Finally, sentence A concludes the paragraph by explaining the practical aspect - "He uses his health for work," which reinforces the idea that health is valuable for one's daily activities.
Sentence 2, "He does not even imagine being ill," is kept at the end as it summarizes the person's attitude towards health and provides a suitable conclusion to the paragraph.
Hence, the sequence of the sentences would be CDBA.
