Correct Answer: BACD


Solution : The correct choice is the first option: BACD.

Explanation :

Sentence B introduces the University College of Fort Hare as the only residential centre of higher education for blacks in South Africa until 1960. It sets the context for the paragraph, followed by sentence A , which describes Fort Hare as more than just a university but a beacon for African scholars from various regions. This follows logically after introducing Fort Hare's role in higher education. Following that, sentence C expresses the significance of Fort Hare for young black South Africans and likens it to prestigious international universities. This elaborates on the broader impact of Fort Hare. The paragraph concludes with sentence D , providing a personal connection by mentioning the regent's desire for the narrator to attend Fort Hare, the narrator's acceptance, and the feeling of being groomed for success.
