Answer 1

Answer: (A)

DCBA

The first statement in the sequence should be the one that introduces a new topic. It should not be a continuation or extension of a topic.

D is first in the sequence: D is the only phrase that starts a topic. It tells us that the murder of an artist named Margaret Muller, who was stabbed to death, has been turned into an artwork.

D is followed by C: C adds further details to D's topic. It says that artist Tom Hunter used headlines from a local newspaper as the inspiration for this artwork.

C is followed by B: B tells us about the artwork mentioned in C. It says that the piece is named 'Murder: Two Men Wanted' and is styled on pre-Raphaelite paintings.

B is followed by A: A continues B's point. It tells us that the piece will be shown at the national gallery.

Thus, the correct sequence is D C B A. Hence, A is the correct option.
