The correct order is BDCA. The first sentence in order is B since it introduces the subject of the paragraph which is the ‘Indus people’ by comparing it to another.

Obviously, the passage will start with sentence D stating about a man named Menon. After that, due to usage of “enigma”, it will be followed with sentence B. Later as he is being held responsible for a debacle, sentence A will come first as it shows the debacle being talked about, so, the correct option will be DBAC.

A and B can both start the passage. C uses ‘so’, therefore, it is more of a conclusive statement. Also, D has ‘it’ which tells us that it is not the first sentence. Here, the options starting with A have C after A which is not possible. Hence, B is the first. D tells us how laughing relieves stress. A follows D.

he first sentence is C since it begins with a proper noun and introduces the topic thus is befitting to start a paragraph. Sentence A is the second in order as it begins with the conjunction “but” and is a logical connective as it introduces us to the problem of the context. Sentence B is next in line as it contains the solution to the problem or “enigma” by using the word “demystify”. The last sentence is D as it ties the threads together and concludes the paragraph properly.

Sentence A introduces the city of Dhanuskodi, a bustling town. Sentence C tells us about the tragedy that changed the city’s character. Sentence D tells what happened after the tragedy. Sentence B tells us as to who remains now in the town.
