Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

To form a coherent paragraph, the sentences should be arranged as follows: 
1. Sentence (C) introduces the main idea that if Karl Marx were alive today, he would identify television as the opiate of the people. 
2. Sentence (B) explains Marx’s original idea that religion functioned as an opiate to soothe pain and prevent rebellion. 
3. Sentence (D) extends this analogy, stating that modern entertainment, such as television, is an even greater form of opiate due to its addictive nature. 
4. Finally, Sentence (A) concludes with the idea that external stimulation, like television, prevents the mind from developing its own reflective habits.
Thus, the correct sequence is (C) (B) (D) (A), corresponding to option (D).
