The correct answer is option (B):
BACD
The passage discusses the concept of a personal mission statement and how it relates to identifying areas of life, roles, and goals. Let's break down why BACD is the correct order.
Sentence B: "If you don't yet have a personal mission statement, it is a good place to begin." This sentence acts as an introductory statement. It introduces the idea of a personal mission statement and suggests it as a starting point for something.
Sentence A: "Just identify the various areas of your like and the two or three important" This sentence is incomplete, but it logically follows from the idea of beginning with a personal mission statement. A mission statement would naturally involve identifying key aspects of one's life. The phrase "two or three important" suggests these are likely important areas or roles within those areas.
Sentence C: "Roles and goals give structure and organized direction to your personal mission." This sentence builds upon the identification of areas and important aspects. Once you have identified these, defining roles and goals is the next logical step to give your mission statement concrete structure and direction.
Sentence D: "This gives you an overall perspective of your life and a sense of direction." This sentence serves as a concluding statement. It explains the benefit or outcome of having a personal mission statement, along with the roles and goals that support it. It summarizes the purpose of the previous steps.
Therefore, the sequence BACD creates a coherent flow of ideas: starting with the personal mission statement as a beginning, identifying important life areas, then structuring that with roles and goals, and finally, understanding the resulting perspective and direction.
