Identify the sentence (2) that fits logically between sentences (1) and (3):
For the sentence (2) to logically fit between (1) and (3), it needs to connect with both (1) and (3). In the first sentence, the narrator describes his/her teacher as his/her greatest strength. The third sentence begins with, "It was due to this". Hence, we can infer that what is mentioned in the second sentence is the cause of the narrator's ability to think creatively (sentence 3). Hence, sentence (2) should speak about something the teachers did, which helped the narrator to think creatively.
Option A is incorrect because ‘reading books’ neither makes one think creatively, nor does it connect with the teachers mentioned in sentence (1).
Option B connects with sentence (1) as it explains that the teachers had given the narrator the liberty to think individually and learn by experimentation. This is the reason for the narrator's ability to think creatively (sentence 3). Hence sentence in option B fits logically between sentences (1) and (3). This is the correct answer as it refers to the 'teachers' by replacing it with 'they'.
Option C is incorrect because it talks about the narrator having liked going to school and having enjoyed learning. However, this does not explain how it helped the narrator to become creative. It does not also connect with the teachers mentioned in sentence (1). Hence, this is incorrect.
Option D is incorrect because it talks about the narrator having successfully cleared many competitive exams. This neither helps the person to be creative, nor does it connect with the teachers mentioned in sentence (1). Hence, this is incorrect.
