Question

Rearrange the following sentences in the proper sequence to make a meaningful paragraph. (A) If you are used to having your stimulation come in from outside, your mind never develops its own habits of thinking and reflecting 
(B) Marx thought that religion was the opiate, because it soothed people's pain and suffering and prevented them from rising in rebellion 
(C) If Karl Marx was alive today, he would say that television is the opiate of the people. 
(D) Television and similar entertainments are even more of an opiate because of their addictive tendencies. 

• A. BACD
• B. ADBC
• C. BDCA.
• D. CBDA
• E.

Hint:

When arranging sentences logically, start by identifying the introductory sentence that presents the main idea, followed by supporting details and examples. Concluding sentences often summarize the main point.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

1. Sentence C opens the paragraph since it is the only one introducing both Marx and television without assuming prior mention.
2. Sentence B follows, explaining why Marx called religion the opiate.
3. Sentence D follows B because its comparison word "even more" needs the opiate idea already set up in B.
4. Sentence A closes the paragraph as a general statement about the mind not developing its own reflective habits.

So the correct sequence is C, B, D, A, and the correct answer is (D) CBDA.
