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

Key Points

  • The word ‘Sri Aurobindo’ in the sentence ‘B’ refers to the subject of the paragraph. Hence, ‘B’ will be the first sentence after rearrangement.
  • Sentence ‘D’ follows ‘B’ as it describes the different roles/occupations held by Sri Aurobindo later on.
  • Sentence ‘D’ will be followed by sentence ‘A’ as it is logically correct here.
  • Sentence ‘C’ will come at last as it tells us about the event that happened in Aurobindo’s life after he completed his ‘scholastic career’. 
     

Thus, the correct arrangement is BDAC.
