The correct answer is option 1) i.e. DBCA.

  • D is the first sentence because it is an introductory sentence. It says that there is an increment in the enrolment in English-medium schools, which is being talked about further.
  • B further talks about the surge in enrolment, which was introduced in D, so, B must follow D.
  • C mentions the phrase 'this shows' which is a reference to 'The surge in English enrolment propels it to third place after Hindi and Marathi, in terms of the total number of Indian children being instructed in that language' of B, so C should follow B.
  • A refers to a different point, i.e. 'enrolment in English language schools in India is in line with international trends'. So, A should only come after DBC.
  • Thus, the correct arrangement is: DBCA.
