Directions: In the following question, four statements are provided. These statements form a coherent paragraph when properly arranged. Select the alternative representing the proper and logical sequencing of these statements.
A. Gold, as a standard of value, is superior to all other indices anyone has been able to suggest: it is unchangeable, easy to transport and store, and finally its production is fairly flexible without ever going to excess.
B. There can be no stable and honest economy without a stable and honest currency. Therefore, we need currency which is based upon real values as the economy's guarantee.
C. Gold acquires all the more value in comparison with the fiduciary currency that is substituted for it, and it leaves the vaults of the public treasury all the faster, the more rigorously one tries to outlaw it.
D. It is a simple but striking fact that gold has come unharmed through all the catastrophes that have almost overwhelmed the human race.
