• A. BCAD
• B. CABD
• C. ACDB
• D. DCBA

Answer 1

The correct option is B CABD

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.

C is first in the sequence: C is the only phrase that introduces a topic. It talks about France's first gay marriage and how it has been annulled by a court.

C is followed by A: A gives details about C's point. It says that the marriage was declared null and void by a tribunal in Bordeaux.

A is followed by B: B adds further details to the story. It says that in addition to the annulment of the marriage a warning was given to the Mayor who broke the law by letting it happen.

B is followed by D: D adds a point to the discussion. It says that the wedding had been declared invalid by Justice Minister Dominique Perben.

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