Answer» Solution Sentence F, which introduces the topic under DISCUSSION i.e. India's position in the world economy, should be the STARTING sentence. We see that "this image" in A references "rockstar" in F. Hence, F-A are a pair. E logically continues with the chain of THOUGHT and should come next. We see that C-D are a pair where the transformation mentioned in C is referenced in D as "this transformation". B is the logical connective between FAE and CD. It tells how India needs to EVOLVE for the CHANGING needs of the future. Hence, the correct order is FAEBCD. Hence A is the second sentence. |

Answer» Solution On CAREFULLY READING the fragments, we see that the SENTENCE is about the early philosophical tradition. Sentence C INTRODUCES the subject of the sentence. Hence, it should be the opening fragment. Sentence E completes the structure of the ‘even though’ part. Hence, it should follow sentence C. Fragment A should follow C as it introduces a NEW dimension. Sentences D and B form a pair, completing the ‘although…, no major’ part of the sentence. Hence, CEADB forms a coherent sentence. |
