Which of the following will be the second statement after rearrangement?
E
B
C
D
F
First of all, let us identify the sentence which is not as per the passage. The passage is about plague and how it has developed over ages. However, statement A talks about two books getting published. Thus, statement A is not part of the passage. The first part of the passage is Part C. It introduces the topic of the passage, the pandemic over history. This is followed by part E, which talks about the records of pandemic which is recorded in the human history. Part E and Part F forms a pair. This is because if part E introduces the events, in part F states on of the supposed cause of these events. Part F is followed by part B, as it contradicts the explanation given in part F. It states that if part F claims human intrusion in natural spaces cause pandemics, then part B argues that humans have been living with nature from time immemorial. Explaining part B, part D states that diseases which caused pandemics, like humans, have evolved to adapt to humanity over time. Thus, the correct sequence is CEFBD. This makes option A the correct option.
