Show Hint
- ACBD
- DBAC
- CADB
- BDAC
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
D states the underlying principle, B draws the consequence with 'So', and A and C then give the two things you 'have to build'. C begins with 'And', so it must directly follow A.
- DBAC is correct because D gives the principle about mutual influence, B ('So ...') concludes that technique alone is not enough, A gives the first requirement (empathic listening), and C ('And you have to build ...') adds the second.
- ACBD is wrong because it opens on a requirement before establishing why technique alone fails.
- CADB is wrong because C's 'And you have to build' cannot come before A's first 'You have to build'.
- BDAC is wrong because B's 'So' should follow the principle in D rather than open the passage.
The correct sequence is DBAC.
