Correct Answer: ADBC
 


Solution : The correct option is"ADBC".

 Let's go through the passage's correct order.

  • - Statement A is the first sentence of the passage and discusses the passage's theme of aftershocks. The phrase "aftershock" refers to a shaking occurrence that occurs after an earthquake.
  • - The second statement of the paragraph is Statement D, which defines the idea of aftershock. Aftershocks are earthquakes in and of themselves, better appropriately described as the lower-magnitude (or lower-intensity) tremors that occur after the earthquake.
  • - The third statement is Statement B, which explains the reason of an aftershock. When an earthquake happens, some of the energy released by the abrupt shattering of rock is transferred to surrounding rocks.
  • - Statement C is the passage's final sentence because aftershock is the result of the earthquake indicated in the preceding sentence. The preceding and following sentences are the cause and effect of a natural phenomena.
  • The correct passage is: A) Aftershock is the term used to describe a shaking event that follows an earthquake. D) Aftershocks are themselves earthquakes, more accurately described as the lowermagnitude (or lower-intensity) tremors that follow the earthquake. B) When an earthquake occurs some of the energy released from the sudden fracturing of rock is transferred to the rocks nearby. C) it adds to the pushing, pulling, and twisting stresses already placed on them.
