Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
The correct sequence is Option C.
The paragraph begins by stating the observable phenomenon: 'Every day we read and hear about the crimes committed by younger people.' This sets the context.
Next, it introduces contributing factors, starting with media influence: 'Movies depict cruelty and violence as heroic rather than vicious.'
The third sentence adds another cause using the transition 'In addition,' linking parental neglect to the previous point.
Finally, the sentence starting with 'The result is that...' logically concludes the paragraph by summarizing the outcome of these combined factors.
Options A, B, and D fail because they either place the conclusion ('The result...') too early or disrupt the logical flow between causes and effects.
Specifically, Option A starts with movies but jumps to crime statistics before explaining the parental factor, creating a disjointed narrative.
Option B places the conclusion immediately after mentioning parents, which is premature since the media influence hasn't been introduced yet.
Therefore, Option C provides the most coherent cause-and-effect structure.
