Key Points

  • When arranging sentences, it is easier to order the first few; and then eliminate the options accordingly. 
  • The first sentence of a paragraph is usually independent and introduces a topic. The second one provides more information about it. 
  • Here, only A is independent and introduces an American celebrity Oprah Winfrey as the subject of the passage under discussion.
  • So, A becomes the first sentence of the passage.  
  • The only option that shows A as the first sentence is option 4.
  • As per option 4, the full sequence is : ABDC.

    • A. Oprah Winfrey is one of the richest and most powerful American women, loved and admired by everyone.

    • B. When she was only 19, she became the first black female assistant to Nashville’s evening news anchor.

    • D. In 1986, Oprah became the television presenter of her own talk show called ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show’.

    • C. But Oprah had a very difficult and traumatic childhood.

  • This sequence is logically correct, making option 4 the correct answer.
