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) Dinkoo was a scheming kid.
(A) He did not like that all his cousins were loved by everyone in the family more than he was.
(B) He especially hated Minkoo.
(C) One day, Minkoo played a really smart trick on Dinkoo and made him look like a fool.
(D) This was because among his cousins, Minkoo was the smartest.
(6) This upset Dinkoo so much that he decided to make Minkoo pay for it.

• A. BADC
• B. ABCD
• C. ACDB
• D. ABDC

Answer 1

The correct option is D ABDC

Sentence A follows (1) because the words "he did not like that ..." are a continuation of (1), moreover, "he" refers to Dinkoo.
Sentence B follows A because the words "especially hated Minkoo" are linked to the previous sentence: "he did not like that all his cousins were loved".
Sentence D follows B, because there is a reason given in D, for the sentence in B: "this was because ...Minkoo was the smartest" is the reason why "he ... hated Minkoo" ('this' refers to 'he hated Minkoo'). Hence D follows B.
Sentence C comes last, after D, because it is a specific incident that follows after the general statements, involving Dinkoo and Minkoo.
Also, the sixth sentence is the result of C: "This upset Dinkoo so much that... ."; 'this' refers to the incident, where Minkoo made Dinkoo look like a fool.
Hence the correct sequence is : ABDC and option D is correct.
Options A, B and C are incorrect because they do not contains the logical sequence of sentences.
