- A, C, B, D
- B, D, A, C
- B, A, C, D
- D, B, A, C
Correct Option: B
B is the first sentence as it introduces the main idea of the passage. B and iv make a mandatory pair since ‘the company’ in D refers to Toyota. A follows D as it elaborates some of the features of the Prius. A and C make another mandatory pair as ‘after that’ mentioned in C refers to what happens once the car has run 15 miles. Thus, the correct sequence is B, D, A, C and option (b) is the correct answer
