Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Correct sequence:
"Anniversaries can be dicey things."
"As long as the dead are being commemorated on a particular day, it is fine."
"But when it comes to a government celebrating a year or two in office, there can be trouble."
"The opposition could keep its gun powder dry and ready as well."
Reasoning:
Begin with the general statement about anniversaries to introduce the topic.
Follow with the qualifying sentence about commemorating the dead; it clarifies when anniversaries are acceptable.
Use the contrastive sentence next to show how celebrations of governments can be problematic.
End with the sentence about the opposition's likely reaction, which naturally follows the contrast.
