Question

(B) And that would be the right moment for the government to show its concern. 
(C) Pump prices would go up again. 
(D) As news of petroleum fuel retail prices hitting new highs every passing day hits the consumer, expectation builds up that the government would cushion the impact by paring the tax component in the final retail price. 
(E) Crude prices are likely to remain range-bound, but the rupee could see some depreciation, if the US Fed proceeds with rate increases or the Donald Trump administration triggers events that lead to a flight to safety of funds from emerging markets to the US. 

• A. ABCDE
• B. DAECB
• C. CAEBD
• D. DAEBC
• E.

Hint:

In sentence arrangement questions, always identify the central idea and then logically link supporting sentences, followed by elaborations or conclusions. This helps to maintain a smooth flow.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

1. Sentence D opens the paragraph by introducing the expectation around fuel prices, since it does not refer back to anything earlier.
2. Sentence A follows, as "that expectation" points directly to what D just introduced.
3. Sentence E comes next, explaining the external condition, crude prices and a possible rupee depreciation, that is holding the government back.
4. Sentence C follows from E, since a weaker rupee would push pump prices up again.
5. Sentence B closes the paragraph, with "that" referring to the price rise in C as the right moment for government action.

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