Hint:

When arranging sentences, identify chronological flow (past to present), cause-effect relationships, and whether the tone shifts from optimistic to critical or vice versa. Anchor your choices between the given starting and ending sentences.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Let’s analyze the logical sequence:
Sentence 1 introduces the theme — India’s industrialization is typical of the struggle faced by newly independent nations. This sets the stage for a chronological and cause-effect structure. 
(B) follows best after 1 as it discusses the policy choices made by Indian political leadership post-independence — a continuation of the theme from sentence 1. 
(A) comes next — providing historical context (India in 1947 was underdeveloped). This explains the need for policy (already mentioned in B). 
(C) logically follows — showing a contrast to the starting condition in A (underdeveloped to now being ranked fifth globally). 
(D) wraps up the discussion by stating that despite economic advancements, the benefits have not been equally distributed — which leads well into sentence 6. 
Sentence 6 serves as the concluding remark: industrialization has been a limited success.

This links back directly to (D). 
So the correct sequence becomes: 1 — B — A — C — D — 6 BACD
