    D ABCEDF Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    B is the second statement. It starts with ‘Most of them’, which is a direct reference to ‘folk tales’. D is the third statement. It serves as an introduction to the rest of the statements. Out of C and E, C comes first. The reason for D comes first. Then comes the condition. Although he had high intellectual abilities, he was not allowed because of his dress.
