Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Concept
A coherent paragraph normally begins with a self-contained topic sentence. Pronouns and demonstratives must follow their antecedents, while connectors such as ‘moreover’ attach to an idea that has already been introduced.
In an ordering task, first form mandatory sentence links, then place the remaining sentence where every reference is resolved.
Application
D is the self-contained opener: it introduces adventure sports and their movement into mainstream leisure.
B can follow D because ‘Moreover’ adds another cause of this broader participation and introduces improved accessibility.
C must follow B because ‘This increased accessibility’ directly refers to the accessibility created by safety equipment and technology.
A follows C because ‘this growth’ refers to the continued market growth predicted in C and then lists its key drivers.
Cross-check and contrast
DBCA preserves the mandatory B → C and C → A links and begins with the self-contained sentence D.
BDAC begins with ‘Moreover’ before any idea has been established and breaks the C → A growth reference.
ADCB begins with ‘this growth’ before its referent and places C before B, which supplies the accessibility antecedent.
CADB begins with ‘This increased accessibility’ before accessibility has been introduced.
Therefore, the coherent order is D → B → C → A (DBCA).
