Direction: In each of the following questions, choose the most appropriate sequence of sentences from the given choices.

  1. (i) There is tension between what we call ethical and what we call pragmatic.
    (ii) If, even in the long run, ethical behavior were self-defeating, eventually we would not call it ethical but foolish.
    (iii) In making such decisions, we are concerned not only with doing right, but also with what works - what makes us and the rest of society happier and more secure.
    (iv) Bearing in mind the variety and complexity of human behavior, are there any simple rules - whether we call them ethical or pragmatic - that actually work?
    1. (iii) (i) (ii) (iv)
    2. (iv) (iii) (i) (ii)
    3. (i) (iii) (ii) (iv)
    4. (ii) (i) (iii) (iv)
Correct Option: A

The phrase 'In making such decision' of (iii) does not link with any other sentence in the set, and hence has to be the first sentence.
