Correct Answer : 1
Solution :
The paragraph discusses Shi Huangdi's mausoleum. Sentence C introduces Shi Huangdi as the Qin Dynasty founder, providing historical context. Sentence D mentions the discovery of his mausoleum in 1974, logically following C. Sentence A describes the mausoleum's contents (terracotta army), and Sentence B elaborates on the sculptures' details, concluding the description.
The order C-D-A-B forms: "Shi Huangdi was the founder of Qin Dynasty and was the first ruler of unified China in 221 BC. His mausoleum was recently discovered in 1974 by Chinese peasants who were drilling a well. It consists of a terracotta army of approximately 8000 life-sized men and horses. Each of the horses and men is individually sculpted by a 3-inch-thick terracotta clay and looks unique." Option A is correct.
