Question

Arrange sentences A, B, C and D between sentences 1 and 6, so as to form a logical sequence of six sentences.
1. Despite the passage of time, a large number of conflicts continue to remain alive, because the wronged parties, in reality or in imagination, wish to take revenge upon each other, thus creating a vicious circle.
(a) At times, managers are called upon to take ruthless decisions in the long-term interests of the organization.
(b) People hurt others, at times knowingly, to teach them a lesson and, at other times, because they lack correct understanding of the other person's stan(d)
(c) The delegation of any power, to any person, is never absolute.
(d) Every ruthless decision will be accepted easily if the situation at the moment of committing the act is objectively analysed, shared openly and discussed rationally.
6. Power is misused; its effects can last only for a while, since employees are bound to confront it some day, more so the talented ones.

• A. BCAD
• B. ADBC
• C. DABC
• D. BADC

Hint:

Cause → structural principle → required action → acceptance condition is a solid sequence in conflict scenarios.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The opening sentence presents the persistence of conflict. B explains the cause — intentional harm or misunderstanding. C follows, explaining limits on power delegation, tying to control of harmful actions. A then describes the need for ruthless decisions in the organization’s interest. D concludes by stating conditions under which such decisions are more easily accepted, leading naturally into sentence 6 on misuse of power. Sequence: BCAD.
