Question

For the following question, arrange the sentences A, B, C, and D to form a logical sequence.

(A) Your doctor will never send you to the drugstore for a pack of cigarettes but she might recommend 'the patch'-the same remedy smokers use to wean themselves off cigarettes.
(B) Worn on the skin, the patch releases enough nicotine into the bloodstream to curb colitis woes like severe diarrhea.
(C) Not even nicotine is all bad.
(D) It may soothe symptoms of ulcerative colitis, a digestive disease, according to a study.

• A. CDAB
• B. DCAB
• C. BACD
• D. ABCD

Answer 1

The correct option is A CDAB

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 starts by stating that even nicotine is not all bad.

C is followed by D: D provides a supporting statement for the claim made by C. It says that Nicotine may soothe the symptoms of ulcerative colitis.

D is followed by A: A adds a condition to D's point. It says that, the point made by D may be correct but, your doctor will never recommend cigarettes. Instead they will suggest a nicotine patch.

A is followed by B: B continues A's point. It tells us what a nicotine patch is and how it helps to soothe colitis symptoms.

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