Question

The sentences given, when properly sequenced, form a coherent paragraph. Each sentence is labelled with a letter. Choose the most logical order of sentences from among the given choices to construct a coherent paragraph. Sentence 1 and 6 are fixed starting and ending of the paragraph. 
1. Amount of published information available varies widely by industry. 
(a) Unfortunately for the researcher, many industries do not meet these criteria, and there may be little published information available. 
(b) Generally, the problem the researcher will face in using published data for analysing an economically meaningful industry is that they are too broad or too arranged to fit the industry. 
(c) However, it is always possible to gain some important information about an industry from published sources and these sources should be aggressively pursued 
(d) Larger the industry, the older it is, and the slower the rate of technological change, better is the available published information. 
6. If a researcher starts searching for data with this reality in mind, the uselessness of broad data will be better recognized and the tendency to give up will be avoided 

 

Hint:

Focus on how rationality impacts psychological engagement in games, as emphasized in the passage.

Answer 1

- Sentence D elaborates on the condition under which good data is available.
- Sentence B discusses the actual practical problem in using existing dat(a)
- Sentence C concludes on a slightly optimistic note: even imperfect data sources should be pursue(d)
- This logical sequence (A D B C) fits perfectly between Sentence 1 and 6.
