Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. CABD.
- As Part C introduces the theme of the passage it will be the first sentence. In this part, the sentence starts with "a" which stands as a determiner for the rest of the sentences.
- Part A will follow C as it seems to be in conjunction with the latter.
- Now we have the part CA, among the options we have only option 3 that starts with CA so, it will be the correct answer,
The correct arrangement will be-
A father wanted to inculcate a sense of responsibility in his careless son. So he told his son that for every careless act of his, he would hammer a nail into a wooden pillar in their house, and for every positive act he would pull out one nail. The boy saw that the pillar was getting crowded with nails and realised his mistake. He resolved to change his behaviour and soon the nails started coming out, till there were none left.
