Solution

The correct option is C DABC
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 introduces a topic. It talks about how the Indian politics in the past decade has shown that a leader should not push his way around.
D is followed by A: A is an extension of D. It provides an alternative by saying that leading by consensus is better than pushing their way around.
A is followed by B: B supports the point made by A. It says that consensus helps to make decisions by taking all the viewpoints into consideration.
B is followed by C: C continues B's point. It says that decisions made through consensus are also easy to implement. The phrase 'Even more' indicates that it is not the first thing being discussed.
Thus, the correct sequence is D A B C. Hence, C is the correct option.

Q. Educator : It has been argued that our professional organization should take decision about important issues such as rising dues and taking political stands - by a direct vote of all members rather than by having members vote for officers who in turn make the decisions. This would not; however, be the right way to decide these matters, for the vote of any given individual is much more likely to determine organizational policy by influencing the election of an officer than by influencing the result of a direct vote on a single issue.
