Answer Options:-

1. EADCB
2. DAEBC
3. ACBDE
4. ECBDA
5. ADCBE

Note: Please give reasons in support of your answer.

Right Answer:-

E is clearly the best opening sentence and ‘origins’ in C links up with ‘throw light upon our past’ in E. Therefore EC is possible. B immediately follows C since ‘They’ in B refers to ‘Americans and Europeans’ in C. D and A come together as they both talk about cheap and quick ways of finding out secrets.
Hence option 4 i.e. ECBDA is the right answer.

Right Answer:-

‘They’ in B refers to writers in 1. So, B follows 1. What has SCPS done is given in A. C, which is also about SCPS, follows A. D precedes 6 as it talks of SCPS being ‘not satisfactory’ and 6 says it is ‘a sinking ship.
Hence option 5 i.e. BACD is the right answer.
