- A B C D E
- C D A B E
- D E C B A
- B C E D A
Correct Option: A
On arranging the correct paragraph formation as :-
B must precede C as B explains the feeling responsible for the Americans voting in large numbers (mentioned in C). A has to come before B as the historical record mentioned in A is the large number of voting by Americans which is also clear by the use of ‘perhaps ever’ mentioned in C. Hence ABCDE is the correct sequence.
