Sentences of a paragraph are given below in jumbled order. Arrange the sentences in the correct order to form a meaningful and coherent paragraph. 1) She was at the university working on her PhD thesis. 2) It was approaching 2 a.m. when Lexi made the discovery that would fracture the world. 3) The research involved creating controlled, miniature black holes in a Vacuity Machine and then testing its potential for hyper-space travel which was mostly hypothetical research. 4) She skulled the rest of her black coffee and sat the paper cup down on the smooth, white table.
Answer: D
The correct order is 2-4-1-3. Sentence 2 opens the story by introducing Lexi and the time, nearly 2 a.m. Sentence 4 follows because 'She' now has an antecedent and the action is in the same moment. Sentence 1 then says where she was and what she was doing, working on her PhD thesis, and sentence 3 carries on with 'The research', which refers back to the thesis. Orders that begin with sentence 1 or 3 start with a pronoun or 'The research' that has nothing before it.
