Correct Answer DCBA
The correct answer is option 1) i.e. DCBA.
Key Points
- D is the first sentence because it introduces the subject of passage 'a terror attack on CRPF personnel' along with the date of the incident.
- C provides further information about the convoy and why it was travelling on National Highway 44. So, C should follow D.
- C talks about the convoy left at 03:30 hrs and B talks about the convoy was scheduled to reach its destination before sunset, so, B should follow C chronologically.
- After the above arrangement, A can be placed in fourth place as it tells the fateful incident in detail.
