Question

A number of sentences are given below which, when properly sequenced, form a coherent paragraph. Each sentence is labelled with a letter. Choose the most logical order of sentences from among the four given choices to construct a coherent paragraph. (A) Realists believe that there is an objective reality out there independent of ourselves. (B) This reality exists solely by virtue of how the world is, and it is in principle discoverable by application of the methods of science. (C) They believe in the possibility of determining whether or not a theory is indeed really true or false. (D) I think it is fair to say that this is the position to which most working scientists subscribe. (a) ABCD (b) CDBA (c) DCBA​

Answer 1

The most logical order of the given sentences is: (c) DCBA.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sentence (c) introduces the realists' belief in the possibility of determining the truth or falsehood of a theory. Sentence (D) supports this view by stating that most working scientists subscribe to this position. Sentence (B) then elaborates on how this is possible, by stating that reality exists independently of ourselves and is discoverable through the methods of science. Finally, sentence (A) provides a brief summary of the realists' position. Therefore, the correct order is DCBA.
