Question

In the question given below, each sentence is labelled with a letter. From the given choices, choose the most logical order of sentence that constructs a coherent paragraph.

1. In the following years, more layers of snow add up to the existing mass.
2. Consequently, the weight of the snow compresses and turns into solid ice.
3. Most glaciers are found near the Poles.
4. They begin to form when snow remains in the same area all year round.

Options

• ACBD

• CDBA

• ABDC 

• CDAB

Answer 1

The theme of the paragraph is the formation of glaciers. Thus, sentence C should start the paragraph. In sentence D, “they” refers to “most glaciers.” Naturally, sentence D should follow. Then comes sentence A as “all year round” and “in the following years” are connected. At the end comes sentence B. “Solid ice” refers to glaciers. 
Therefore, CDAB is the correct option.
