The Correct Option is B
Approach Solution - 1
The correct order of sentences is:
1. Sentence (D) introduces the context of rising fuel prices and the public's expectation that the government will intervene.
2. Sentence (A) follows with the statement that the government should meet this expectation, but not yet.
3. Sentence (E) provides additional context on the external factors that influence the situation, such as crude prices and potential depreciation of the rupee.
4. Sentence (C) logically follows, stating that the pump prices would go up again in the future.
5. Sentence (B) ends the paragraph, suggesting that the right moment for the government to show concern would be in response to these developments.
Thus, the correct sequence is (D) (A) (E) (C) (B), corresponding to option (B).
Approach Solution -2
Tracking the pronoun and reference words across the sentences, "that expectation" in one sentence, "that" in another, "and" joining a final consequence, pins down the sequence without needing to restate the whole narrative.
- Sentence D: This is the only sentence that sets up "expectation" without referring back to any earlier idea, so it must be the opening sentence.
- Sentence A: The phrase "that expectation" directly points back to the expectation just introduced in D, so A must follow D immediately.
- Sentence E: Having said in A that the government should meet the expectation "but not yet," the paragraph needs to explain the external condition holding it back, and E supplies that with crude prices and the rupee's likely depreciation.
- Sentence C: Following from the rupee's likely depreciation mentioned in E, the direct consequence is that pump prices would go up again.
- Sentence B: The word "that" here refers back to the rise in pump prices just stated in C, identifying it as the right moment for the government to act.
Following the reference chain across the sentences produces the order D, A, E, C, B.
Hence, the correct answer is (B) DAECB.

"The emancipation of women", James Joyce told one of his friends, "has caused the greatest revolution in our time."
Other modernists agree: Virginia Woolf, claiming that in a about 1910 "human character changed" and illustrating the new balance between the sexes, urged, "Read the 'Agamemon' and see whether your sympathies are not almost entirely with Clytemnestra". D.H. Lawrence wrote "perhaps the deepest fight for 200 years and more has been the fight for women's independence".
But if modernist writers considered women's revolt against men's domination as one of their "greatest" and "deepest" themes, only recently, perhaps in the past 15 years has literary criticism begun to catch up with it. Not that the images of sexual antagonism that abound in modern literature have gone unremarked - far from it. We are able to see in literary works the perspective we bring to them and now that women are enough to make a difference in reforming canons and interpreting literature, the landscapes of literary history and the features of individual books have begun to change. - Choose the correct sentence
