Question

For the following question, arrange the sentences A, B, C, and D between sentences 1 and 6 to form a logical sequence with sentence 1 and sentence 6 as the starting sentence and the concluding sentence respectively:

(1) Urban problems differ from city to city.
(A) As a result, most of the cities face a shortfall in drinking water as well as electricity.
(B) The population in these cities has grown far beyond what they had been planned for.
(C) However, certain basic problems are common to all cities.
(D) The number of vehicles on roads has grown at a phenomenal rate in most cities.
(6) And the roads are simply not wide enough to accommodate them.

• A. BCAD
• B. DABC
• C. CBAD
• D. DBCA

Answer 1

The correct option is C CBAD

Sentences A, B, D and 6 talk about the similarities between various cities, and therefore sentence C has to come before all of them, and just after 1. Therefore, option C - CBAD is the correct answer. All the other options begin with sentences that cannot logically follow sentence 1, are are hence incorrect.
