Discussion
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. It needs the rain-forest climate and trees to be able to grow properly. B. Cocoa flowers can only be pollinated during the day. C. Cocoa cannot grow on farms. D. This is because the pollinators of the cocoa flower are dust-speck size midges that only live in rainforests.
Answer: A
The order is CADB.
C states that cocoa cannot grow on farms. A explains that it needs rain-forest conditions. D, with 'This is because', gives the reason: its pollinators are midges that live only in rain forests. B ends by saying that the flowers can be pollinated only in the daytime.
Options starting with D or B cannot begin the paragraph because they refer back to something ('This is because').
The 'This is because' in D explains the claim made just before it, so D must follow A, which says that the plant needs the rain forest. The first sentence C states the general claim that cocoa cannot grow on farms, and B, on the pollination time, closes the paragraph. The order is C, A, D, B.
