- A B C D
- A D C B
- C A D B
- D A C B
Correct Option: B
A D is the key. Passage must begin with A as it states that ‘welcoming these kids with open arms are a new breed of women ….. to build a thriving business, that of preschools’. D must follow A as it mentions about ‘toddlers, barely out of their diapers ….. at the earliest’. B, C and D cannot open the passage as they are the supportive link to the initial start. C must follow D as it states that ‘welcoming these kids with open arms ….. that of preschools’. B must follow C and also close the paragraph as it states about ‘parents being relieved now ….. who attend these preschools.’ The right sequence is A D C B.
