Correct Answer DCBA

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

  • D is the first sentence because it introduces the subject of galaxies. It briefly explains what a galaxy is.
  • C explains the literal meaning of 'galaxy'. So, C would follow D.
  • Either of the remaining two sentences i.e. A and B can be placed in the third position. Both can be placed in the third place and will be contextually correct. But the first two sentences should only be D and C respectively. Therefore, only option 1 is suitable.
