Correct Answer ACBD
The correct answer is option 1) i.e. ACBD
- A is the sentence that establishes the subject matter which deals with the spread of respiratory pathogens. Hence, it'll be the first sentence after rearrangement. The sentence mentions how close contact allows the rapid spread of such pathogens.
- Sentence C provides an example to aid this statement. It talks about how the biggest spread of a certain pathogen has been observed in overcrowded places. Hence, C follows A.
- Sentence B is the logical successor of sentence C as it talks about how the same situation has been observed in other places.
- Sentence D follows B as it provides us with another example of such a spread and supports the statement made in sentence B.
