Option 1: ACBD
Option 2: ADCB
Option 3: CDBA
Option 4: CBAD
Correct Answer: ADCB
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
- Sentence A introduces the topic by stating that there are several factors contributing to wisdom, providing a general context for the discussion.
- Sentence D specifies and prioritises one particular factor, the "sense of proportion," as the most important among the contributing factors to wisdom.
- Sentence C elaborates on the sense of proportion, defining it as the capacity to consider all important factors in a problem and to assign the appropriate significance to each, contributing to a deeper understanding of the concept.
- Sentence B adds complexity to the discussion by explaining that achieving a sense of proportion has become more challenging due to the increased complexity of specialized knowledge required, offering a logical and relevant extension to the initial idea in Sentence D.
So, the correct sentence would be: There are several factors that contribute to wisdom. Of these, I should put first a sense of proportion. This is the capacity to take account of all important factors in a problem and to attach to each its due weight. Doing this has become more difficult than before owing to the complexity of the specialised knowledge required.
