Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Correct sequence: BDCA.
B. "It is difficult to control our thinking and feelings." This is the best opening because it introduces the central problem.
D. "We are influenced and limited by attitudes, prejudices, by other individuals and by external conditions..." This explains why controlling mental and emotional processes is difficult.
C. "That is, unless we work at it consciously and persistently." This gives the condition under which such control becomes possible.
A. "This is the key to tap the creative power inside us." This concludes by referring to conscious and persistent effort as the key.
Therefore, the correct order is BDCA, i.e. option B.
