Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Para-jumble items are solved by first identifying the topic sentence — the one general statement with no pronoun or connector pointing back to an earlier idea — then sequencing the remaining sentences using transition markers ('Firstly', 'Another', 'For example', 'As a consequence', 'All in all') and the pronoun/reference chains that link each sentence to the one before it.
C is the general opening statement — 'Studying abroad has two main benefits' — so it is the first sentence.
G introduces the first benefit using 'Firstly' (better job opportunities), making it the second sentence.
B supplies the reason for that benefit with 'This is because', making it the third sentence.
H adds further detail about that same benefit (higher pay, quicker promotion), making it the fourth sentence.
D introduces the second benefit with 'Another advantage' (independence), making it the fifth sentence.
A gives an example of that independence using 'For example', making it the sixth sentence.
F states the consequence of that example with 'As a consequence', making it the seventh sentence.
E closes the paragraph with 'All in all', making it the eighth and final sentence.
Reading the full sequence C-G-B-H-D-A-F-E end to end confirms every connector resolves correctly: 'this' in the third sentence points to the opportunity named in the second, 'they' in the fourth points to the people named in the second, 'Another advantage' in the fifth shifts cleanly to the second benefit, and 'As a consequence' in the seventh delivers the result of the example in the sixth — every transition lands, confirming the order.
The third sentence is B.
