    Solution

    The correct order of the sentences is b, e, d, a and c . Here, we can understand that b is the introductory statement, hence, it comes first. Then, we should categorise the sentences according to 1G, 2G, etc. So, e is second, followed by d and a . Sentence c is referring to the specifications of 4G, hence it is the last sentence, which comes after c .
