Correct Answer: CADB


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

To arrange the sentences in a meaningful and coherent paragraph, consider the logical flow of events. Here's the correct order:

C. Fleming became famous overnight and was regarded as one of the most distinguished scientists of his time.

A. In 1944, he was honoured by King George VI with a knighthood and became Sir Alexander Fleming.

D. The next year, he and his fellow bacteriologists, whose combined efforts had led to the great discovery, were honoured with a joint Nobel Prize.

B. On receiving this great honour, Fleming said in his usual modest way, "Wherever I go, people thank me for saving their lives. I didn't do anything; I just found a remedy that was there.

Sentence (C) introduces the fact that Fleming became famous and was highly regarded for his work. Sentence (A) provides a chronological event, mentioning the honour he received from King George VI, becoming Sir Alexander Fleming, further establishing his recognition and prominence. Sentence (D) follows, explaining that he and his fellow bacteriologists were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize for their discovery, showing the extent of their achievements and recognition. Sentence (B) concludes the paragraph by sharing Fleming's modest response to the honours, highlighting his humility and gratitude, and tying the narrative together.
