The following question gives a sentence which has been divided into four parts which may not be in their correct order of narrative. The sentence is then followed by five options, one of which gives the sequence of the rearranged parts to make the sentence meaningful. Choose the option which gives the correct sequence of the parts. If the sentence is already arranged in the correct sequence, mark option " No rearrangement required " as the answer.


(A) with factories' reluctance to buy, have
(B) increasing rental costs for farmers
(C) a surge in supply and falling prices, along
(D) caused delays for trucks and tractors,

Correct option is C

Let us reconstruct the sentence logically and grammatically.
Step 1: Begin with (C)
"a surge in supply and falling prices, along"
This sets the stage with a cause or condition. However, the sentence is not yet complete.
Step 2: Follow with (A)
"with factories' reluctance to buy, have"
This continues naturally from part (C):
"a surge in supply and falling prices, along with factories' reluctance to buy, have..."
This forms a complex subject of the sentence — multiple factors are grouped as the cause of an effect.
Step 3: Then comes (D)
"caused delays for trucks and tractors,"
This completes the predicate:
"...have caused delays for trucks and tractors,"
So far: "A surge in supply and falling prices, along with factories' reluctance to buy, have caused delays for trucks and tractors..."
Step 4: End with (B)
"increasing rental costs for farmers"
This adds a consequence to the delays. The final sentence:
"A surge in supply and falling prices, along with factories' reluctance to buy, have caused delays for trucks and tractors, increasing rental costs for farmers."
Correct Sequence: C A D B
Final Answer: Option c. CADB
Explanation:
· (C) introduces the main subject: a surge in supply and falling prices
· (A) adds to the subject: factories’ reluctance
· (D) is the result of these conditions
· (B) provides a consequence of the delays, forming a complete and meaningful sentence.
