Which sentence should come FIFTH in the paragraph?
Answer: A
Correct answer: B
The FIFTH sentence of the rearranged paragraph is B.
Correct sequence: C – E – A – D – B
How the paragraph builds:
- C names the subject: poverty alleviation is a significant programme.
- E supplies the yardstick - this programme refers back to C, and success is measured by the proportion below the poverty line.
- A gives the reading on that yardstick: the percentage has been decreasing.
- D qualifies it - this change is slow and gradual but consistent.
- B draws the conclusion: a welcome sign, with a warning about population growth.
This change in D has no antecedent unless A comes before it, which fixes the second half of the order.
