Question

Identify the sentence (B) that fits logically between sentence (A) and (C) from the options given below:

A. I used to think that boiling an egg would be a simple job until I came to live in the Himalayas.
B __________________________________________.
C. I don't know if it's the altitude or the density of the water, but it just won't come to a boil in time for break fast.

• A. I found that just getting the water to boil was an achievement
• B. Boiling an egg in the Himalayas was fascinating
• C. I could never find good eggs there
• D. "Were the eggs also too hard?" I wondered

Answer 1

The correct option is A I found that just getting the water to boil was an achievement

In the above mentioned three sentences, the most appropriate sentence to be in the second position is Option A.

The first sentence describes about a situation where boiling an egg is considered a simple job and the last sentence speaks about how boiling an egg is too difficult at such high altitude. Thus, the availability of the water is what fits into the second position (option A), given the nature of all the three sentences.

The other options B, C and D speak about situations which are nowhere related to the sentences given and which do not fit in the second position given the first and the last sentence.
