Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Concept
A para-jumble is solved by finding discourse links between sentences: the opening sentence introduces the topic on its own (no back-reference), pronouns and connectors point backwards, and the closing sentence signals a conclusion. Fix the opener and the closer first, then chain the middle sentences by their logical and grammatical cues (mandatory/transitional words such as "However", "also", "Thus, finally").
Application
Reading the six sentences for their cues gives a single coherent chain:
Sentence introducing AI and robotics as recent technologies and a risk — a self-contained opener with no back-reference, so it must come first.
Sentence about examining the past histories of AI/robotics to make life easy and assist humans — it states the original, benign intention, naturally following the introduction.
Sentence stating they are developing their capacity dramatically and shifting their origins of developing intention to other dimensions — the pivot from the benign past to a change, so it sits third.
Sentence beginning with "However ... they may become predators and put creatures at risk" — the contrast word marks the turn to danger and depends on the previous shift.
Sentence beginning "They may also inherit the full nature of creatures" — "also" adds one more point to the danger already raised, so it follows it.
Sentence beginning "Thus, finally ..." — "Thus, finally" is an explicit concluding marker, so it ends the paragraph.
This fixes the order, with the original sentence labels, as: A → C → E → D → B → F.
Result
Counting positions in this order, the third sentence is the one stating that the technologies are developing their capacity dramatically and shifting their origins of developing intention to other dimensions — i.e. sentence E.
Cross-check
Read the chosen order end to end: the opener introduces the topic, the second gives the original helpful intention, the third announces the shift, "However" then turns it to danger, "also" adds a further danger, and "Thus, finally" concludes. Every connector ("However", "also", "Thus, finally") lands on a sentence that has something earlier to attach to, which confirms the chain is internally consistent.
