Solution
The central theme of the paragraph is the consequences of plagiarism. Plagiarism refers to the fraudulent use of the words and ideas of others as if they were one’s own. The very foundation of the theme is laid in sentence B. Thus, sentence B should start the paragraph. “The illegal act” in sentence D refers to plagiarism. Sentence A and sentence D are connected. In sentence A, “one of them” refers to “a few students.” Sentence A refers to one of the students who did not pay much heed to the consequences of plagiarism. This makes DA a pair. Thus, DA follows sentence B. Expulsion refers to the action of forcing someone to leave an organisation. Sentence c states the consequence of plagiarism (the illegal act). Thus, at the end comes sentence c.
Therefore, BDAC is the correct option.
