Correct Answer: DBCA


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Explanation : The logical flow of information in the order DBCA starts with the historical context of English in India, mentioning the East India Company's establishment of settlements in Chennai, Kolkata, and Mumbai in the early 1600s. This sets the foundation for the longer exposure India has had to English compared to other countries using it as a second language. The paragraph then delves into this extended exposure, highlighting how English has gradually influenced various aspects of Indian culture, including words, idioms, grammar, and rhetoric . It concludes by emphasising the linguistic diversity within India,

Therefore, the correct answer is DBCA.
