The correct order to form a meaningful sentence is DECBA. Part D comes first as it introduces the subject of the sentence, which is the occurrence of robberies in a specific area. Part E indicates the frequency or prevalence of robberies in the area. Part C describes an outcome or observation related to the frequency of robberies, which is that they rarely receive significant attention in the news. Part B introduces a condition or exception to the previous statement. It suggests that there are instances where robberies do receive attention in the news. Part A specifies the criteria for robberies that do receive attention - they must involve significant property damage or violence. Hence, (a) is the correct answer.
The complete sentence is: Robberies in the area are so common that they rarely make headlines unless they involve significant property damage or violence.
