- DBCA
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
The paragraph opens with a pair of linked questions and then moves to statements that answer them, so the two questions must come first and stay together. C asks the broad question "What do we reflect to others about ourselves?" and A follows it directly with "And how much does that reflection influence their lives?" The word "that reflection" in A points back to the reflecting introduced in C, and the connector "And" shows A is a continuation of the same thought. After the questions, D and B supply the reflection about people, with D introducing the idea of investing in others and B extending it to seeing their unseen potential.
- CADB is correct because C and A form the linked question pair (C sets up "reflect", A refers back to it with "that reflection"), and D then B develop the answer smoothly.
- BACD is wrong because it starts with B, but B needs the earlier idea of reflecting people's potential to make sense, so it cannot open the paragraph.
- ACBD is wrong because it splits the natural C-A question pair by putting A before C, breaking the "that reflection" reference.
- DBCA is wrong because it ends on the two questions, leaving the paragraph hanging on unanswered questions instead of a concluding thought.
The correct order is CADB, which is option a.
