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) Philosophy, outside of the formal academic environment, can be considered a discipline, not a profession.
(A) On the other hand, engineering, no matter the specialty, is firmly set in the ways of a profession, from the highly structured undergraduate training to the lifetime of professional requirements.
(B) Although philosophy represents a body of knowledge, it does not beget an occupation built on that specialized body of knowledge.
(C) This status does not devalue the discipline of philosophy, but rather permeates society with people grounded in the discipline's fundamentals.
(D) Philosophy degree holders move on to a myriad of job opportunities from law to business, from writing to political office, but there are no job openings on Monster.com for 'Philosopher.'
(6) The geosciences are potentially at a crossroads - the field can either continue to be a profession or slowly evolve into a discipline.

• A. BCAD
• B. DACB
• C. BDCA
• D. DBCA

Answer 1

The correct option is C BDCA

1, B, C and D talk about philosophy and therefore should come together. 'A' that talks about the other discipline, engineering (on the other hand, engineering..) should then come just before 6, which talks about the third discipline, geosciences. Option C) is the only option in which A comes immediately before 6. Therefore, option (C) is the correct answer.
