• A. BDCA
• B. ACDB
• C. BACD
• D. BDAC

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

BDCA

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.

B is first in the sequence: B starts talking about Alex Proyas. It says that Alex Proyas never got a high school diploma and he blames Isaac Asimov for that.

B is followed by D: D provides justification for the claim made by B. It says that Asimov's short story 'Nightfall' derailed Proyas' academic career.

D is followed by C: C takes the discussion to a new direction. It says that this July Proyas has turned to another one of Asimov's works, I, Robot.

C is followed by A: A tells us more about Proyas' opinion of I, Robot. It says that according to Proyas, the story is a vision of how the world can suddenly descend into anarchy.

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