Correct Answer DABC
The correct answer is option 3) i.e. DABC.
- D is the first sentence because it introduces the subject of the passage - 'laptop'.
- The word 'clamshell', which was first mentioned in D, is mentioned again in A. Hence, A must follow D.
- B further explains the suitability of laptops, and this suitability is further expressed in C - "to be placed on a person's lap when being used", so, C should follow B
