Direction: The sentences given in each question, when arranged in the proper sequence, form a coherent paragraph. Each sentence is labelled with a letter/number. Choose the most logical order of sentences from among the given choices to construct a coherent paragraph.
-
A. in this very short introduction to
B. America’s still-influential legislative response to the same
C. I offer some basic ideas for a first understanding of this profound crisis and
D. the Great Depression and the New Deal
-
- C, B, D, A
- A, B, C, D
- A, D, C, B
- C, D, A, B
Correct Option: C
D logically follows A with ‘the Great Depression and the New Deal’ being the topics of introduction. C marks the beginning of the next clause which is logically followed by ii. Option (c) is thus the correct choice. Option (a) can be ruled out easily since the sentence cannot end with A. Option (b) is incorrect since iii and iv cannot come together (too many ‘and’s). Option (d) looks correct but it is not the right sequence because of ‘same’. The sentence is ambiguous since ‘same’ can refer to any of the three things mentioned before i.e. the Great Depression, New Deal and America’s still influential response
