C Correct answer
Explanation

Sentences C, A and D are related together by the virtue of French connection. As 3 introduces the idea that ideology originated in France in 18th Century, so it should come before both 1 as well as 4. Though, both CDA and CAD make sense but order CAD is far more better than CDA because in sentence A, the origin of ideology concept is described and that description is illustrated in sentence D with reference to Destutt de Tracy. Look at answer choices and you shall find only option (3) providing us with such valid order. This marks option (3) as correct answer.

B Correct answer
Explanation

As one can easily infer that sentence C describes the conversion of various forms of energy by prime movers, therefore, as in sentence A, example of prime movers has been given, it follows sentence C. In sentence 6, an analogy of electric machines converting two different forms of energy have been given. This therefore, needs some example preceding it. Therefore, DB should precede sentence 6. This sequence is presented in option (2), hence the answer.
