• A. BDAC
• B. CABD
• C. ABDC
• D. DCBA

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To determine the correct sequence of the sentences to form a coherent passage, we need to focus on the logical flow of ideas and the connections between sentences.

1. Sentence B: "Urgent matters are usually visible." - This sentence introduces the topic of urgent matters, indicating that they are noticeable. It sets the stage for discussing the nature of urgent tasks.
2. Sentence D: "They press on us; they insist on action." - This follows logically from Sentence B by clarifying what urgent matters do. They not only appear but also demand immediate attention.
3. Sentence A: "They are often popular with others, they are usually right in front of us." - This sentence expands on the idea presented in Sentences B and D by describing where urgent matters tend to be (right in front of us) and how they are perceived by others (popular).
4. Sentence C: "And often they are pleasant, easy, fun to do, but so often they are unimportant." - Finally, this sentence concludes the passage by adding a twist: despite urgent matters being visible and demanding action, they are often trivial.

The correct sequence is therefore BDAC. This configuration maintains a logical progression from identifying urgent matters to expanding on their characteristics and concluding with their significance, or lack thereof.
