Direction (): Given below are six statements A, B, C, D, E and F, which when arranged in the correct order, form a coherent and meaningful paragraph. The sentence marked D is fixed and would fit in the fourth position. Rearrange the other statements in a proper sequence to form a meaningful paragraph, then answer the questions that follow.

A. Acts of grand corruption usually involve a set of illegal actions – like the bribery of public officials, substitution of materials or resources, and the complicity of a group of actors – that may lead to fatal consequences.

B. For a number of years, the anti-corruption community has discussed the possibility of prosecuting cases of grand corruption. This could have a positive impact on raising awareness and reform and may fill a vacuum if a state is unable or unwilling to prosecute certain cases of grand corruption.

C. There is a need to protect the universality of human rights, and to do so, we must stop regarding corruption as something cultural or contextual. The ambiguity of the concept makes it more difficult to include anti-corruption among human rights issues.

D. Because of this, dozens of children were given false cancer treatments in Veracruz. Children were given water instead of chemotherapy treatments. Funding was also cut from security and police forces; 2,500 homicides were registered during Duarte’s administration.

E. Corruption affects human rights in a variety of ways, yet it is still not considered a “human rights violation”. Instead, it is solely deemed an international offence.

F. The consequences of corruption are far worse than they appear in plain sight. Between 2012 and 2016, Javier Duarte in Mexico transferred millions of pesos from public funds into his private accounts, including money destined to health providers and security forces.

Explanation:

The passage is on corruption, so either C or E could logically be the opening lines of the passage. The other options start with such conjunctions and connectors, which indicate that they are the continuation of other statements. Between C and E, the latter should be the first sentence as it lays down the argument that corruption affects human rights and C takes the idea forward towards a resolution. So, E and C for the first and the second sentence respectively. Having found the first and the second sentence, and having the fourth sentence fixed, we need to look for the third sentence. D mentions the phrase, “Because of this dozens of children were given false cancer treatments”; so we need to find the specific reason. F carries this reason for the consequence mentioned in D. Thus, F is the third sentence. Now we are left with only A and B, and B follows A as it concludes the passage by stating how the anti-corruption community helped in raising awareness.

So, the correct sequence would be ECFDAB.

E the first statement after rearrangement.
