A Correct answer
Explanation

The correct sequence BEDAC creates a logical flow: B establishes the study context (tracking 268 intruder males), E presents the key finding (17 cases with allies), D describes the specific behavior (pushing/grappling only with intruder), A notes what never happened (neighbors never fighting each other), and C provides contrast with previous unknown-status studies. This coherent narrative structure is the hallmark of correct paragraph sequencing.

AI explanation

This is a logical sequencing question where the sentences must be ordered to form a coherent passage: B introduces the general observation about neighbours not fighting, E explains the method of tracking intruders, D describes the specific finding about allies, A/C follow with supporting detail. The correct order BEDAC creates a passage that flows from general claim to methodology to specific results to elaboration, which the other orderings disrupt.
