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) Since 1960, the Peace Corps has been the premier organization for Americans who want to help people in impoverished and developing countries.
(A) But the Peace Corps isn't the only game in town especially for MBAs whose ambition is to go above and beyond that social mission.
(B) Indeed, they've been doing it for more than a decade through the MBA Enterprise Corps.
(C) MBAs with business know-how and a strong bent for public service-can travel to many of the same countries to help small businesses and their owners.
(D) Established by Duke University management professor Jack Behrman in 1990, the MBAEC has sent some 25 MBAs a year more than 570 to date, to Africa, Asia, and Eastern Europe, especially former Soviet bloc countries.
(6) No question, it's a modest effort compared to the venerable Peace Corps, but for MBA participants and business owners in the developing countries, the effort is paying dividends.

Solution
The correct option is C ADCB
The first statement in the sequence should be the one that best connects with (1). It must be a continuation or extension of (1).A is first in the sequence: A is the phrase that best continues the topic started by (1). (1) tells us about peace corps and then A continues its point by saying that peace corps is not the only organisation dedicated to helping people in impoverished countries. A is followed by D: D is a direct continuation of A. It talks about an organisation other than peace corps that is dedicated to helping people. It tells us about the MBAEC which sends MBAs to certain countries. D is followed by C: C continues D's point by telling us why these MBAs are sent. It says that these MBAs are sent to help the small businesses in those countries.C is followed by B: B tells us that the MBAs mentioned in C have been doing this for over a decade through the MBAEC. C also connects to (6) in a proper way and allows (6) to provide a conclusion.Thus, the correct sequence is A D C B. Hence, B is the correct option.
