Correct Answer : 5
Solution :
B opens the paragraph, telling us what drove Africa's global outreach in the past. A follows B, informing us that this 'way' of outreach is changing as emerging powers in Asia are reciprocating the African countries' outreach. E should follow next, as it tells us about one of the 'emerging powers' mentioned in A, i.e. India, and details the 'Indian' way of engaging with Africa. D comes next, as it contrasts China's approach with that of India's, and tells us the differences. C closes the paragraph, saying that there are major differences in the approaches of these two countries and pointing out the challenge that is to be tackled by both.
Option E is the right answer.
