Correct Answer: CDBA


Solution : The most appropriate choice is the third option.

The paragraph starts with sentence C , which introduces the central idea that Ruskin categorises certain professions as intellectual professions within society, followed by sentence D , as it logically follows the previous sentence by establishing an expectation that individuals in these professions should conduct their responsibilities with honesty and integrity. It is followed by sentence B , which elaborates on the expectations placed upon one of these professions (the merchant) in providing high-quality, untainted products to society. Sentence A concludes the paragraph by raising a question about how society can enforce honesty among individuals who may fail to meet the ethical standards expected in their professions.
