Answer 1

Answer: (B)

a-b-d-c

The first statement in the sequence should be the one that introduces a new topic It must not be a continuation or extension of a topic.

a is first in the sequence: a is the only sentence that starts a new topic. It starts talking about how people who live in the city do not have to worry about well or springs.

a is followed by b: b gives the reason for a's claim .It says the the city people do not have to worry because the city supplies them with water.

b is followed by d: d branches the discussion and starts talking about the villages. It says that in villages, however, especially for farmers, obtaining water supply may be quite a problem. The word 'but' in the sentence indicates that it is the second topic being discussed.

d is followed by c: c gives reason for d's claim. It says that for them, water may come from a spring, a well or underground water connection.

Thus, the correct sequence is a b d c. Hence, B is the correct option.
