Option 1: CABDE

Option 2: BCEDA

Option 3: CDEAB

Option 4: ABCDE

Team Careers360 16th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: ABCDE


Solution : The correct answer is the fourth option.

The paragraph begins by establishing the context and setting the scene with sentence A, introducing the museum exhibit that displays ancient artefacts. Sentence B follows, describing the interest and admiration drawn from visitors who come to appreciate the historical significance of the artefacts. This is then followed by sentence C, where the museum director takes pride in the exhibit and acknowledges the efforts put in by the team in curating it.

Then, the narrative takes a turn with sentence D, introducing a conflict when a visitor claims recognition of a stolen piece from his family's collection. This event surprises the director, leading to sentence E, where he is shocked and determined to thoroughly investigate the matter. The sequence thus progresses logically from the introduction of the exhibit to the revelation of potential theft and the director's commitment to resolving the issue.

Therefore, the logical order to form a coherent paragraph is ABCDE.

Option 2: being

Option 3: be

Option 4: are

Team Careers360 5th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: being


Solution : The most appropriate choice is the second option.

Explanation: In this context, "a notable exception being China" implies that China is the exception among the countries whose delegates will participate in the summit.

  • "Be" is the base form of the verb "to be" used as an infinitive or imperative.
  • "Are" is the present tense form of "be" used for plural subjects in the present tense.

Therefore, the correct answer is being.
