Discussion
Choose the most logical order of the sentences from among the four given choices to construct a coherent paragraph.
A. Where his illustrious rivals Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal were - and still are - wildly popular, universally, Djokovic was admired but not quite loved.
B. Sporting heroes, like celebrated authors, have a devoted following.
C. Novak Djokovic has often suffered this fate.
D. With time, as tastes become more defined, the fandom narrows, leaving little scope for accommodating others.
Answer: C
Sentence B states the general idea: sporting heroes, like authors, have devoted followers. Sentence D follows it and develops the idea, saying that as tastes become more defined the fandom narrows and leaves little room for others. Sentence C then brings in the example, saying that Novak Djokovic has often suffered this fate (the little room), the word 'this' pointing back to D. Sentence A closes by explaining the case, in which Federer and Nadal were wildly popular while Djokovic was admired but not loved. So the order is B, D, C, A. The order starting with A or D has no introduction, and C cannot come before D, as 'this fate' needs an earlier mention. The answer is BDCA, option C.
