Multiple choice

Directions: In the following question, four statements are provided between an opening statement and a closing statement. The four statements are jumbled up and form a coherent paragraph when properly arranged. Select the alternative representing the proper and logical sequencing of these six taken together.

  1. All around us, there are many things which change, some of them seem to disappear. A. At each second of time, an unlimited contingency might undo whatever was about to occur, placing everything continually in a state of uncertainty. B. If chance alone reigned in the world of matter, there would be stability only in chaos or in immobility, not in life. C. Experience shows, however, that nothing comes from nothing, and also that nothing is completely destroyed without being transformed into something else. D. A blind anarchic chance, intervening by itself in the universe and incapable of going beyond a first successful hit in order to improve upon it, would not provide us with an acceptable account of the origin of life.
  2. Chance alone does not constitute an explanation. The antithesis of chance is God, or purely physical laws such as we are discovering little by little.

D Correct answer
Explanation

This para jumble underlines the enigma of life, which is clear from statement 1. Out of all the statements, it is C that further explains statement 1. Statement D further explains this concept, therefore, it follows C. Out of A and B, B follows A as it explains A, and B also gives sense to statement 6. Hence, (4) is the correct answer.
