Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Answer: The correct order is 4-6-3-2-1-5.

Reasoning (step-by-step):

  1. Start with sentence 4: "Some cafes can get away with being plain vanilla." This introduces the general topic and sets up a contrast.

  2. Follow with sentence 6: "But others cannot." This immediately provides the contrast that was anticipated by sentence 4.

  3. Then sentence 3 explains the situation in more detail: "The bigger your cafe, the more is the need for additional mean of income." This generalizes why some cafes cannot remain plain vanilla.

  4. Sentence 2 gives the reason: "This is because the returns from browsing cover only a percentage of your costs." It explains why extra income sources are necessary.

  5. Sentence 1 provides examples of those extra attractions: "Thrills, ranging from video games to burgers cover the rest."

  6. Finish with sentence 5: "These fruits will make your clients spend more time with you and also add to your profits." The word "These" refers back to the attractions mentioned in sentence 1 and states their benefit.

Why other orders fail:

  • Starting with sentence 3 or 2 places an explanation or generalization before the reader has been introduced to the contrast; the paragraph then lacks a clear topic sentence.

  • Delaying sentence 6 (the direct contrast) weakens the logical link between the idea that some cafes are plain and the need for additional income in others.
