Solution
The correct option is B 3241
Sentence 3 comes first as it introduces a general topic. The other sentences state specific thoughts which further explore this topic, hence each of them cannot come first.
Option B is incorrect as it begins with 1 whereas 1 is the concluding sentence.
Sentence 2 follows 3 as the words "religion was the opiate because it soothed..." links it to the words "opiate of the people" in 3.
Sentence 4 follows 2 as the words "Television... are even more opiate because" are linked to "religion was the opiate". It means 'Television is even more opiate than religion'.
Sentence 1 comes last as it is the concluding sentence which speaks of the result of the addiction towards television.
The correct sequence is hence, 3241. Option D has this sequence, hence it's correct.
Options A and C are incorrect as they do not contain the correct sequence.
