Correct Answer: ADBC


Solution : The correct order is the third option.

Explanation:

  • Sentence A (The computer company was in a crisis as its sales and profits were falling.): This serves as an introduction, setting the stage by presenting the problem the computer company faced—a crisis due to declining sales and profits.
  • Sentence D (The board brought in a new CEO with many years of experience who began managing the crisis.): This follows logically after sentence A, explaining the company's response to the crisis. Hiring an experienced CEO is a strategic move to address the challenges.
  • Sentence B (He immediately set to work, chopping jobs and taking other tough decisions.): This fits well as the next step. After introducing the new CEO, the sentence describes the immediate actions taken, such as making tough decisions, including job cuts.
  • Sentence C (Soon things started changing, and the company was saved, at least in the short term.): This concludes the sequence by presenting the positive outcome of the CEO's actions. The company's situation improves, signalling a successful short-term resolution.
