Correct answer: B

Explanation:

Correct, coherent ordering of the sentence parts (presented in full):

  • At a primordial level, we become individuals only through this act of stating our disagreement.

  • There is no family without dissent between parents and the children, or between the siblings.

  • A family which learns to deal with dissent rather than authoritatively dismissing it is a more harmonious family.

Why this order works:

  • The first sentence introduces the general idea that individuality is formed through expressing disagreement; it sets the theme.

  • The next sentence affirms that dissent exists within families, providing the immediate context for the theme.

  • The final combined clause explains the consequence: a family that learns to handle dissent (the dependent clause) is a more harmonious family (the concluding idea). The dependent clause must directly precede its completion for grammatical and logical coherence.

Common failures in other orders:

  • Starting with the concluding phrase leaves readers wondering what it refers to; the result needs prior explanation.

  • Placing the dependent clause ('a family which learns ...') away from the concluding phrase breaks the sentence and creates a fragment.
