In the question below, five sentences, labelled A, B, C, D and E, are given. They need to be arranged in a logical order to form a coherent paragraph/passage. From the given options, choose the most appropriate option.
(A) Located in the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, Bonneville Dam was built for two reasons: to provide residents of the Pacific Northwest with electricity and to make the waterway more navigable for boat traffic.
(B) Now, the 1,954-kilometre river has been domesticated: Bridges seem to clamp down on the Columbia like yokes, and, more importantly, a series of dams and locks have chopped the once mighty Columbia into a series of placid reservoirs.
(C) The first major manmade change to the Columbia River occurred in 1938, with the completion of the Bonneville Dam.
(D) The Bonneville Dam is actually a series of several dams and links the states of Oregon and Washington.

Correct Answer : 1
Solution :
Sentences E and B are pairs: E tells us about how the Columbia River used to be in the past, and B then tells us what it looks like in the present. Options b) and c) are eliminated.
Sentence C must follow the pair: EB, as B tells us about the changes that have been effected on the Columbia River, and C throws more light on one of these major changes. Thus, Options d) and e) are eliminated.
Thus, EBCDA is the correct order and Option a) is the right answer.
