Correct Sentence Arrangement 

Final Sentence:

Despite the enduring belief that ‘fresh is best’, research has found that frozen, canned and dried fruits can be just as nutritious as their fresh counterparts.

Correct Sequence:

(B) → (D) → (A) → (C) – ✔ Option 3

Explanation of Each Part:

  • (B): Introduces the phrase “Despite the enduring belief...” – setting up contrast.
  • (D): Continues with the content of that belief – “that ‘fresh is best’...”
  • (A): Adds the key finding – “research has found that...”
  • (C): Completes the idea with the conclusion – “frozen, canned and dried fruits can be just as nutritious...”

Why Other Options Are Incorrect:

  • (A), (B), (C), (D): ✖️ Disjointed flow; starts abruptly with research without context.
  • (A), (C), (D), (B): ✖️ Misordered ideas; the belief and context follow the result, breaking logic.
  • (C), (B), (D), (A): ✖️ Starts with the conclusion instead of the contrast or premise.

Summary:

This sentence uses a contrast structure starting with "Despite..." and logically leads to a research-based conclusion, which is best conveyed in the sequence (B), (D), (A), (C).
