Solution
ABABA is the correct option.
1st sentence: Pie charts are graphical representations of data for the purpose of understanding. They are not visual or pictorial.
2nd sentence: Each portion should be ‘differentiated’ from the others for clarity. ‘cleared’ means removed.
3rd sentence: ‘labelled’ means ‘given names’; ‘articulated’ means ‘spoken clearly’
4th sentence: ‘conventionally’ means ‘as is the normal practice’ with pie charts; ‘initially’ means ‘in the beginning’ which doesn’t make sense here.
5th sentence: ‘slices are placed clockwise in ‘descending’ order with the biggest slice placed first at 12 o’clock position.
