Answer 1

Answer: (A)

c-b-d-a

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.

c is first in the sequence: c is the only phrase that can start a topic. It says that a man attended an interview for a job.

c is followed by b: b continues a's point. It says that along the corridor, he picked up a piece of paper and threw it in the dustbin.

b is followed by d: d continues b's point. It says that the interviewer passed by and saw him throw the paper in dustbin.

d is followed by a: a concludes from d. It says that due to this action of the man, he got the job.

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