    A ABCD Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B BDAC Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C BDAE Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D EBAC Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E AEBC Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    (b) is the right answer BDAC is the correct sequence and part E is the odd part. B begins with establishing the subject of the sentence when the production of television began- television became available in crude experimental forms in the late 1920s then D follows by telling us when it was commercialized- but it would still be several years before the new technology would be marketed to consumers. A continues by telling us how it was improved-after World War II, an improved form of black-and-white TV broadcasting became popular. C concludes by telling us where it became popular- in the United States and Britain, and television sets became commonplace in homes, businesses, and institutions  E is the odd part as it talks about video recorder- video recorders has enabled viewers to watch pre- recorded material and has not been discussed in any other part, it fails to link itself coherently with any of the other parts of the sentence.
