Question

Arrange the following four sentences in a proper sequence to form a coherent paragraph:
(a) These high plans died, slowly but definitively, and were replaced by the dream of a huge work on philosophy.
(b) In doing whatever little he could of the new plan, the poet managed to write speculations on theology, and political theory.
(c) The poet’s huge ambitions included writing a philosophic epic on the origin of evil.
(d) However, not much was done in this regard either, with only fragments being written.

• A. ABCD
• B. CBAD
• C. CDAB
• D. CADB

Hint:

Chronology matters—start from initial ambition, then action taken, then change in plan, and finally the result or lack thereof.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

We begin with C, describing the poet’s grand initial ambitions. Next, B narrates what little progress he made in his new plan. Then comes A, which explains how those ambitions shifted to philosophy. Finally, D notes the minimal progress even in the new endeavour. Sequence: CBAD.
