Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Correct sequence: BACD.
Why this order works:
"While a 'Vote on Account' deals only with the expenditure side of the government's budget," — this contrast sets up the need to explain how an Interim Budget differs from a Vote on Account.
"an Interim Budget is a complete set of accounts, including both expenditures and receipts." — this immediately completes the idea introduced by the contrast, defining the Interim Budget.
"An Interim Budget gives the complete financial statement, very similar to a full Budget." — this reinforces the definition and removes any ambiguity.
"While the law does not debar the Union government from introducing tax changes, normally during an election year," — this introduces a caveat about tax changes that naturally leads into the concluding sentence.
The final sentence, "Successive governments have avoided making any major changes in income tax laws during an Interim Budget," completes the caveat introduced in the previous sentence. Placing the sentences in the order described above yields a coherent, logically connected paragraph.
