    Question

    Given below are four jumbled sentences. Pick the option that gives their correct order.
    A: One day when the quarreling had been much more violent than usual and each of the sons was moping in a surly manner, he asked one of them to bring him a bundle of sticks.
    B: No words he could say did the least good, so he thought in his mind for some very striking example that should make them see that discord would lead them to misfortune.
    C: A man had a family of sons, who were forever quarreling among themselves.
    D: Then handing the bundle to each of his Sons in turn he told them to try to break it.

    A.

    CBAD

    B.

    CABD

    C.

    DCBA

    D.

    ABDC

    Correct option is A

    The correct order for the jumbled sentences is "CBAD".
    · C: Introduces the subject—a man with quarreling sons.
    · B: Provides background on the man’s previous unsuccessful attempts to address the quarreling and his decision to try a new method.
    · A: Describes the man’s action of bringing a bundle of sticks to demonstrate a lesson, following his realization.
    · D: Concludes with the action of testing his sons with the bundle, directly following the action introduced in A.
    · This order presents a logical progression from the problem (quarreling sons), through the father’s thought process, to his illustrative lesson, and the sons' interaction with the lesson.
