Question

A. Perhaps the best known is the Bay Area Writing Project, founded by James Gray in 1974.
B. The decline in writing skills can be stopped.
C. Today’s back-to-basics movement has already forced some schools to place renewed emphasis on writing skills.
D. Although the inability of some teachers to teach writing successfully remains a big stumbling block, a number of programmes have been developed to attack this problem.

• A. BCDA
• B. ADCB
• C. ACBD
• D. CABD

Hint:

Start with a general idea, follow with evidence, mention challenges and response, and end with a concrete example.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

B starts with a general statement offering hope: writing skill decline can be reversed.
C supports this with evidence of schools re-focusing on writing through policy.
D introduces the major challenge — teacher preparedness — but notes efforts to address it.
A gives a specific example of such a program: the Bay Area Writing Project.
Thus, the ideal sequence is: B (claim) \Rightarrow C (evidence) \Rightarrow D (problem + action) \Rightarrow A (example).
