Sentences of a paragraph are given below in jumbled order. Arrange the sentences in the correct order to form a meaningful and coherent paragraph.
A. The first hurdle to get over is viewing anxiety through a negative lens; we need to accept it as a natural part of the human experience.
B. How you use it makes all the difference -You can use anxiety in a positive way and turn it into a powerful force in your life if you strike a balance.
C. While some cases of anxiety are serious enough to require medical treatment, everyday anxiety is a fact of life and can actually be helpful.

1.ADBC
2.CBAD
3.DABC
4.DBCA
5.ABCD
Correct Answer : 2
Solution :
Two mandatory pairs CB and AD would be formed. CB would be formed because the phrase 'How you use it makes all the difference' mentioned in B refers to the fact that everyday anxiety can be helpful which is mentioned in C. AD is formed because these two are in an order as suggested by the phrases 'the first hurdle' and 'another problem' mentioned in A and D, respectively. CB precedes AD because AD talks about hurdles/problems of overcoming anxiety which is the subject of the passage and C introduced it.
Thus, the final order of the paragraph is CBAD.
Hence, option (b) is correct.
