A C is the key. Passage must begin with D as only it introduces the argument of ‘command economies,’ ‘ central planning,’ ‘right mix of output’ etc. A, B, C and E cannot begin the passage with ‘The market mechanism,’ ‘Central planning create,’ ‘As a result’ and ‘Although’ respectively. A should obviously follow D as A picks up the argument from ‘decentralized market mechanism’ mentioned by D, C should follow A as C tells ‘market economy may produce lots of frivolous goods,’ B should follow C as B talks of ‘Central planning’ which takes care of the society’s most pressing needs,’ E should follow B and conclude the argument as E talks of the ‘worthy’ ‘goals of central planning’ etc.......................................................................................................................................................................

Correct Option: C

A C is the key. Passage must begin with D as only it introduces the argument of ‘command economies,’ ‘ central planning,’ ‘right mix of output’ etc. A, B, C and E cannot begin the passage with ‘The market mechanism,’ ‘Central planning create,’ ‘As a result’ and ‘Although’ respectively. A should obviously follow D as A picks up the argument from ‘decentralized market mechanism’ mentioned by D, C should follow A as C tells ‘market economy may produce lots of frivolous goods,’ B should follow C as B talks of ‘Central planning’ which takes care of the society’s most pressing needs,’ E should follow B and conclude the argument as E talks of the ‘worthy’ ‘goals of central planning’ etc. Option (a) : passage wrongly begins with A whereas A should follow D, after D has talked of ‘command economies,’ ‘central planning,’ ‘more likely to produce the “right” mix of output than a decentralized market mechanism,’ A should follow it with its criticism of ‘the market mechanism.’ Option (b): passage wrongly begins with E whereas E should follow B and conclude the passage, after B has talked of ‘central planning’ taking care of ‘the society’s most pressing needs.’ E should follow it talking of ‘worthy’ ‘goals of central planning.’ Option (d): passage wrongly begins with C whereas C should follow A which in turn should follow C, after A has told of ‘market mechanism,’ ‘giving undue weight’ etc. C should follow it telling ‘a market economy may produce lots of frivolous goods’ and so on. Except (c), other options are wrong.

C A and A B are the keys. Passage must begin with C which introduces the problem ‘global warming’, A, B, D cannot begin the passage as they only tell the effects of global warming, A should obviously follow C as A tells the effect of global warming indicated by C as expected. B should follow A as B advances the description of the effects, D should follow B and conclude the passage as D further tells the effect, i.e., ‘the warmer climate’ could melt the floating ice’ etc. Option (a): passage correctly begins the passage with C but D wrongly follows it whereas D should follow B and conclude the passage, after B has told an ‘effect’ of ‘global warming’ D further tells the effect,

Correct Option: C

C A and A B are the keys. Passage must begin with C which introduces the problem ‘global warming’, A, B, D cannot begin the passage as they only tell the effects of global warming, A should obviously follow C as A tells the effect of global warming indicated by C as expected. B should follow A as B advances the description of the effects, D should follow B and conclude the passage as D further tells the effect, i.e., ‘the warmer climate’ could melt the floating ice’ etc. Option (a): passage correctly begins the passage with C but D wrongly follows it whereas D should follow B and conclude the passage, after B has told an ‘effect’ of ‘global warming’ D further tells the effect, i.e., ‘the warmer climate could melt the floating ice’ and so on. Options (b), (d): passage wrongly begins with B in both the options instead of C whereas B should follow A which in turn should follow C, after A has talked of one effect, i.e., ‘a lid of warm water,’ B tells about another effect, i.e., ‘plant productivity would rise’ and so on. Except (c) other options are wrong.

C E is the key. Passage must begin with C with its ‘however promising the prospects for growth may be’ as it introduces the issue of ‘current production constraints.’ A, B, D and E cannot begin the passage with their ‘Each year,’ ‘Choosing what,’ ‘The fact’ and ‘There is still’ respectively. E should obviously follow C which talks of ‘a limit’ to production, D should follow E with its ‘fact that those limits’ which refers to ‘a limit’ to production mentioned by E, A should follow D with its ‘Each year we still have to choose,’ B should follow A and conclude the passage with its ‘choosing what to produce - a mix of output’ which refers to A’s ‘we still have to choose some mix of output!’ .

Correct Option: B

C E is the key. Passage must begin with C with its ‘however promising the prospects for growth may be’ as it introduces the issue of ‘current production constraints.’ A, B, D and E cannot begin the passage with their ‘Each year,’ ‘Choosing what,’ ‘The fact’ and ‘There is still’ respectively. E should obviously follow C which talks of ‘a limit’ to production, D should follow E with its ‘fact that those limits’ which refers to ‘a limit’ to production mentioned by E, A should follow D with its ‘Each year we still have to choose,’ B should follow A and conclude the passage with its ‘choosing what to produce - a mix of output’ which refers to A’s ‘we still have to choose some mix of output!’ Option (a): Passage wrongly begins with A whereas A should follow D and precede B, telling ‘each year we still have to choose some mix of output’ and so on. Option (c): Passage wrongly begins with D whereas D should follow E which in turn should follow C, telling ‘those limits may expand in future years’ which refers to ‘a limit’ to production mentioned by E. Option (d): passage wrongly begins with A whereas A has to follow D, telling ‘we still have to choose some mix of output’ and so on. Except (b) other options are wrong.

B D and A C are the keys. Passage must begin with B as it introduces the argument of the passage, i.e., giving ‘orders,’ commanding and demanding ‘obedience’ are not good attributes in an executive. A, C and D cannot begin the passage with their ‘Suggest or request,’ ‘Be a leader’ and ‘A good one’ respectively. They only tell good or desirable attributes of an executive after B has introduced the argument.

Correct Option: C

B D and A C are the keys. Passage must begin with B as it introduces the argument of the passage, i.e., giving ‘orders,’ commanding and demanding ‘obedience’ are not good attributes in an executive. A, C and D cannot begin the passage with their ‘Suggest or request,’ ‘Be a leader’ and ‘A good one’ respectively. They only tell good or desirable attributes of an executive after B has introduced the argument. D should obviously follow B as D tells how does a good executive behave, i.e., ‘he delegates wisely and counsels sanely.’ A should follow D with its ‘Suggest or request,’ C should follow A and conclude the passage asking ‘to be a leader and not a boss.’ Option (a): passage wrongly begins with A instead of B whereas A should follow D which in turn should follow B, after D has told how does a good executive behave or deal, i.e., he ‘delegates wisely’ etc. A should ask to ‘Suggest or request’ and so on. Option (b): passage wrongly begins with D instead of B whereas D should follow B after B has introduced the argument, i.e., giving ‘orders’ or ‘commands’ make a ‘poor executive,’ D’s ‘A good one delegates wisely’ is quite logical and so on. Option (d): passage wrongly begins with C instead of B whereas C should follow A and conclude the passage, after B has introduced the argument, D advances it telling who is a ‘good’ executive, A advances it further asking to ‘suggest or request,’ C appropriately concludes the passage telling ‘Be a leader’ etc. Except (c), other options are wrong.
