    Question

    Sentences of a paragraph are given below in jumbled order. Arrange the sentences in the correct order to form a meaningful and coherent paragraph.

    A. Although the changes are minute, measured in milliseconds per day, they have significant implications for our technology-dependent world, particularly for computing systems like GPS.

    B. The research suggests that polar ice melt caused by global warming is changing the planet's rotation and increasing the duration of each day, a trend expected to accelerate over the coming century as humans persist in emitting greenhouse gases, according to a report from CNN.

    C. This phenomenon underscores the profound influence humans are exerting on the planet.

    D. The speed of Earth's rotation, which determines the length of each day, is being altered by the impacts of human-induced climate change, a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has revealed.

    A ABDC Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B CBDA Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C BCDA Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D DBAC Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    D is the opening sentence, which introduces ‘a new study’.  ‘The research’ in sentence B refers to this study and also indicates the ‘changes’ in planet’s rotation which is linked with minute ‘changes’ mentioned in sentence A. ‘This phenomenon’ in sentence C refers to implications on computing systems like GPS mentioned in sentence A. So, the correct sequence is DBAC.
