Direction: Arrange the sentences A, B, C and D to form a logical sequence between sentences 1 and 6.
-
1. There are gangsters, and there are 1970's gangsters.
A. As late as 1967, in Jean-Pierre Melville’s Le Samouraï, Alain Delon floated through in a raincoat that looked like it had been in storage since before Vichy.
B. We’ve given our hearts to mobsters in Tony Manerostyle flared suits, with shirt collars outside the lapels, big hair, proudly unwaxed chest hair, and those dick-duster ‘taches’.
C. The French, whose homegrown gangster tradition is second only to Hollywood’s, favoured the trenchcoat look long after it was obsolete for Humphrey Bogart.
D. We were enamoured of gangsters with trench-coats, felt hats, spats and gats.
6. Mesrine: Killer Instinct - the headlong, two-part account of France’s “Eminem Publique Numero 1” of the 1970s - proves both that the French can do flares with flair.
-
- C D B A
- A D C B
- B D A C
- D B C A
Correct Option: D
D follows the first sentence as it voices the general perception about gangsters. B would follow D as it continues the narrative. C continues the discussion by bringing in the French perspective; A continues the discussion about gangsters in French films. Thus the correct sequence of sentences is D B C A.
