    Question

    Sentences of a paragraph are given below in jumbled order. Arrange the sentences in the correct order to form a meaningful and coherent paragraph.
    A. But the question that perturbs Ruskin's mind is what social pressure can be exercised against a dishonest person.
    B. The merchant, for instance, must supply perfect and pure things to the people.
    C. Ruskin believes that in every civilised society there exist five intellectual professions, namely the soldier, the pastor, the physician, the lawyer and the merchant.
    D. Persons belonging to these professions are expected to perform their duty honestly.

    A.

    BACD

    B.

    DABC

    C.

    CDBA

    D.

    ABDC

    Correct option is C

    The correct order to form a coherent paragraph is (c) CDBA.
    Sentence C is the introductory statement. It sets the context by mentioning Ruskin's belief about the five intellectual professions in a civilized society.
     Following this introduction, Sentence D logically follows as it talks about the expectations of honesty from the persons belonging to these professions, directly relating to the professions mentioned in Sentence C.
     Next, Sentence B provides a specific example (the merchant) and elaborates on what honesty means in the context of one of these professions, thus naturally extending the idea introduced in Sentence D.
     Finally, Sentence A introduces a question or a problem ('what social pressure can be exercised against a dishonest person'), which is a deeper exploration of the theme of honesty in professional life. This question is a logical follow-up to the expectations and examples provided in the preceding sentences.
