Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation:

Start with the general opening statement to set the topic: "The motor car is one of the useful gifts of modern science."

  • Follow it with the positive detail: "It has made short and medium distance journeys fast and comfortable." This elaborates the benefit mentioned in the opening.

  • Next, introduce a contrast that signals disadvantages: "Yet we cannot say that a motor car is a blessing without disadvantages." This sentence prepares the reader for a list of problems.

  • Then state the first specific drawback: "One of these is the smoke and pollution that it creates."

  • Finish the list of drawbacks with the other specific problem: "The other is that it has made journey by road hazardous."

This yields a clear, logical progression from the general claim to a supporting positive detail, then to a contrasted qualification and the ordered listing of disadvantages.

Correct sequence of the sentences (in content order):

  1. "The motor car is one of the useful gifts of modern science."

  2. "It has made short and medium distance journeys fast and comfortable."

  3. "Yet we cannot say that a motor car is a blessing without disadvantages."

  4. "One of these is the smoke and pollution that it creates."

  5. "The other is that it has made journey by road hazardous."
