• D. ECABD

Hint:

When arranging jumbled sentences, start with the main idea and build around it logically to form a coherent paragraph.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The correct order is "ECABD." Starting with "The piranha is a much maligned fish" (E) introduces the topic, followed by the statement about the piranha being misunderstood (C). Then, it is followed by the sentence that explains the popular misconception (A), the clarification about the piranha's behavior (B), and the final clarification (D) that the piranha is more complex than it is often depicted.
