Sentences of a paragraph are given below in jumbled order. Arrange the sentences in the correct order to form a meaningful and coherent paragraph.
A. Without balance, much of the beauty and grandeur of our existence is lost.
B. But a balanced life doesn't just happen.
C. Bringing your life into equilibrium requires focused awareness and daily retreat from the stresses of the world.
D. Living in balance is vital to our well-being.
Answer: A
The order is DABC. D opens the paragraph by stating the general idea: living in balance is vital to well-being. A follows because it says what happens without balance, so it extends D. B then turns to the next point, that a balanced life does not just happen, and C closes by saying what it takes, namely focused awareness and a daily retreat from the world's stresses.
BACD and BDAC start with ‘But’, which needs an earlier sentence to contrast with, and DBAC puts the ‘But’ sentence before the consequence in A that D leads to, which breaks the link between D and A.
