Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Sentence 1 — ``encounter" vs ``counter" In this context, the difficulty is something you will face, so “encounter” (A) is correct. “Counter” means to oppose, which doesn’t fit here. \[ \Rightarrow \text{Choice: A} \] Step 2: Sentence 2 — ``culture" vs ``cultural" The sentence refers to “cultural differences,” which is the correct adjective form. Hence, choose “cultural” (B) instead of the noun “culture.” \[ \Rightarrow \text{Choice: B} \] Step 3: Sentence 3 — ``conscious" vs ``obvious" The differences are not easily noticed at first; “obvious” (B) fits better here than “conscious.” \[ \Rightarrow \text{Choice: B} \] Step 4: Sentence 4 — ``influential" vs ``dire" A theory in academia is usually described as “influential” (A), which suggests it has had a significant impact. “Dire” is negative and unsuitable here. \[ \Rightarrow \text{Choice: A} \] Step 5: Sentence 5 — ``diversity" vs ``division" The phrase “theory of cultural diversity” is a well-known concept, making “diversity” (A) the correct choice over “division.” \[ \Rightarrow \text{Choice: A} \] Step 6: Final sequence Sentence 1: A, Sentence 2: B, Sentence 3: B, Sentence 4: A, Sentence 5: A \[ \Rightarrow \text{Final sequence: ABBAA} \] \[ \boxed{\text{ABBAA}} \]
