Correct answer: A
In a sentence-rearrangement (para-jumble) question, the correct order is found by first identifying the ONE sentence that can stand completely on its own — introducing its subject without relying on a pronoun ('it', 'this') or a phrase that assumes prior context ('in simpler terms', 'for this reason'). That sentence must open the paragraph. From there, each following sentence is chosen because its own referring words (pronouns, connectors, repeated key terms) link back to something the previous sentence already established.
Applying this rule to the given sentences, in order:
D — 'The Golden Kela is held each year where awards are given for the year's worst in Bollywood' — introduces the award by name and defines it without relying on any pronoun, so it is the only sentence that can open the paragraph.
A — 'In simpler terms, it is the Indian version of the Razzies' — the phrase 'in simpler terms' explicitly restates something just explained, and 'it' refers back to the Golden Kela defined in D, so A follows D directly.
E — 'It was created by Random magazine ... in the year 2009' — 'it' again points to the Golden Kela, now shifting from what it is to its origin (who created it and when), continuing naturally from A's description.
C — 'It was created in order to ridicule the bad performances and as a revenge for wasting our precious time and money on such idiotic films' — this repeats E's 'it was created' clause to add the purpose behind that same act of creation, so it must sit right after E.
B — 'The 3rd Golden Kela Awards will be hosted by Cyrus Broacha this year' — having covered what the award is, who created it, and why, the paragraph closes by moving to the present-day, specific edition of the award.
The three incorrect sequences each fail for this reason:
The sequence BACDE places a specific, present-day detail ('the 3rd ... will be hosted ... this year') before the paragraph has said anything about what the Golden Kela is, so the reader has no context for it yet.
The sequence ACEDB opens with 'in simpler terms', a phrase that signals a restatement of something already said — with nothing preceding it in that order, there is nothing for it to restate.
The sequence CEADB opens with 'it was created in order to...', a purpose clause resting on 'it' and 'created' — neither the subject nor the fact of its creation has been introduced yet in that order, so the purpose has nothing to attach to.
Only the order D-A-E-C-B keeps every pronoun and connecting phrase tied to something already introduced, so DAECB is the correct sequence.
