Question

Arrange the sentences A, B, C and D to form a logical sequence between sentences 1 and 6.
1. Making people laugh is tricky.
A. At times, the intended humour may simply not come off.
B. Making people laugh while trying to sell them something is a tougher challenge, since the commercial can fall flat on two grounds.
C. There are many advertisements, which do amuse but do not even begin to set the cash tills ringing.
D. Again, it is rarely sufficient for an advertiser to amuse the target audience in order to reap the sales benefit.
6. There are indications that in substituting the hard sell for a more entertaining approach, some agencies have rather thrown out the baby with the bath water.

• A. CDAB
• B. ABCD
• C. BADC
• D. DCBA

Hint:

Follow the progression of the topic, ensuring each sentence logically connects to the next based on the idea it is discussing.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The Correct Answer is (3) because the passage starts with the idea of making people laugh, and then introduces challenges of doing so. It flows logically to how advertisements sometimes fail, and finally suggests that humor may not always be enough for sales benefit.
