Hint:

In sentence arrangement questions, always identify the central idea and then logically link supporting sentences, followed by elaborations or conclusions. This helps to maintain a smooth flow.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The correct order of sentences is: 
1. Sentence (D) introduces the context of rising fuel prices and the public's expectation that the government will intervene. 
2. Sentence (A) follows with the statement that the government should meet this expectation, but not yet. 
3. Sentence (E) provides additional context on the external factors that influence the situation, such as crude prices and potential depreciation of the rupee. 
4. Sentence (C) logically follows, stating that the pump prices would go up again in the future. 
5. Sentence (B) ends the paragraph, suggesting that the right moment for the government to show concern would be in response to these developments. 
Thus, the correct sequence is (D) (A) (E) (C) (B), corresponding to option (B).
