Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Correct sequence (in order): Bholi's real name was Sulekha. Her parents called her Bholi because she was mentally backward. She stammered badly. And she had black pock-marks on her body.

Explanation:

  • Begin with the sentence that introduces the person: "Bholi's real name was Sulekha." This establishes the subject for the paragraph.

  • Place the sentence that explains the nickname next: "Her parents called her Bholi because she was mentally backward." This directly follows the introduction and gives reasoning.

  • Follow with sentences that add further details about her condition: "She stammered badly." and "And she had black pock-marks on her body." These naturally come after the explanation.

Reasoning note:

Sentences that begin with a pronoun (for example, "Her" or "She") or with a conjunction like "And" usually refer back to information already given; therefore they should not start the paragraph. A clear introduction should come first, followed by explanations and supporting details.
