Which of the following should be the THIRD sentence after rearrangement?
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:
While arranging sentences in a sequence, it is important to understand the main theme first so that the subthemes can be arranged accordingly. First should be statement B which introduces the topic. It should be followed by statement E, which gives information about the two circles mentioned in statement B. Next should be statement A, which further describes the context with reference to the former and the latter. It should be followed by statement C which explains the former and the latter furthermore(indicated by the terms used in the statement). Next should be statement F which explains the concept of external and internal in detail. It should be followed by statement D which states, 'their prescriptions too', which indicates they should act as a continuing statement to some or other related statement which in this case is F.
Hence, the correct sequence is BEACFD.
