Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
B names the subject, 'Insecure people', and the sentences that use 'They' must follow it. The passage builds from their mindset to its consequence and closes with a summarizing aphorism.
- BDAC is correct because B introduces insecure people, D says they need to clone others, A says they fail to see the value of another point of view, and C ends with the maxim that sameness is not oneness.
- DACB is wrong because D opens with 'They', which needs B's 'Insecure people' first.
- CDBA is wrong because C is a concluding generalization, not an opener.
- ACBD is wrong because A's 'They' has no antecedent until B appears.
The correct sequence is BDAC.
