Question:medium

Rearrange the following sentences in the proper sequence to make a meaningful paragraph. (A) We even make sure to wash the car every so often. 
(B) It's pretty much a foregone conclusion that you'll brush your teeth tomorrow morning. 
(C) The same is true for showering, going to the bathroom, grooming your nails and facial hair. 
(D) You don't squander precious mental space evaluating whether or not brushing your teeth is worth the opportunity cost of let's say, another five minutes of sleep. 
(E) We clean our homes with a myriad of dust-sucking devices and chemical concoctions, or hire people to do so more thoroughly than we can. 

Show Hint

When arranging sentences, look for the logical flow from general observations to specific examples and conclusions. This helps maintain a smooth connection between sentences.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

  1. Sentence B opens the paragraph by naming the specific example of brushing your teeth as an automatic habit.
  2. Sentence D follows, continuing on the same example and explaining that no mental effort is spent on it.
  3. Sentence C follows next, since "the same is true for" needs the teeth-brushing habit already established, and it extends the idea to other grooming habits.
  4. Sentence E widens the scope further to home-cleaning habits.
  5. Sentence A closes the list, with "even" signalling the final, most surprising example of washing the car.

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