Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
To determine the correct sequence, analyze the logical flow and connective words in each statement.
Statement A begins with 'As a result', which indicates it must follow a cause. Therefore, it cannot be the first sentence.
Statement C uses 'This', which refers to a previously mentioned idea. Thus, it cannot be the first sentence.
Statement D starts with 'But', which signals a contrast. This means it cannot be the first sentence, as it requires a preceding idea to contrast with.
Statement B begins with 'Science and civilization have made rapid strides', which is a strong opening that introduces the topic. This makes it the most likely first sentence.
After B, A can follow as 'As a result' logically connects to the progress described in B.
D, with 'But', introduces a contrast about the human factor, which fits after discussing technological progress.
C, with 'This constitutes...', refers to the human factor mentioned in D, so it must come after D.
The correct sequence must start with B, followed by A, then D, and end with C. This ensures logical flow and proper use of connective words.
