Question

Arrange the following disasters in chronological order of their occurrence from past to present:

• A. C, D, B, A
• B. D, C, A, B
• C. A, B, C, D
• D. B, A, D, C

Hint:

For chronological order questions, first write the year of every event separately, then arrange the years from earliest to latest.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: Chronological order means arranging events according to time, starting from the earliest event and moving toward the latest event.

Step 1: Identify the year of each disaster.
The Gujarat Earthquake occurred in 2001.
The Indian Ocean Tsunami occurred in 2004.
Hurricane Katrina occurred in 2005.
Cyclone Nargis occurred in 2008. \[ \text{Gujarat Earthquake} = 2001 \] \[ \text{Tsunami} = 2004 \] \[ \text{Katrina Hurricane} = 2005 \] \[ \text{Nargis Cyclone} = 2008 \]

Step 2: Arrange them from past to present.
The earliest event is Gujarat Earthquake. After that came the Tsunami, then Katrina Hurricane, and finally Nargis Cyclone. \[ 2001 < 2004 < 2005 < 2008 \]

Step 3: Write the order using the given letters.
Gujarat Earthquake is D.
Tsunami is C.
Katrina Hurricane is A.
Nargis Cyclone is B. Therefore, the correct order is: \[ D, C, A, B \]
