    D AEDBC Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No rearrangement required Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Solution   The sentence should begin with part E since it introduces the top of Wheat ban. Thus, part E comes first. This sentence ends with the word ‘spike’ which means ‘rise’. The right use of preposition after ‘spike’ is ‘in’ which means a sharp increase. Thus, part C comes second. Part C has the word ‘but’ and thus, the next part should introduce something contradicting the main aspect of the sentence – wheat ban. The next part should be part A since it explains the contradicting aspect of the sentence of India continuing to honor the existing letters of credit. The next part of the sentence should be part D since this part begins with the element associated with the ‘letters of credit’ that comes at the end of the previous part. Thus, the last part is part B. Thus, the right rearrangement is ECADB.
