Correct Answer CDBA
The correct answer is option 3) i.e. CDBA
- C is the first sentence because it introduces the subject 'recession' and gives the term's definition.
- D mentions when a recession can occur. So, D is the continuation of the explanation about the subject mentioned in C.
- B mentions the various events which can trigger a widespread drop in spending(mentioned in D). So, B follows D.
- In the end, A mentions the efforts the governments undertake to respond to the aftermath of a recession. As A cites remedial measures for the problem discussed in the last three sentences, it will be placed in the fourth position.
Thus, the correct arrangement is : CDBA.
