Discussion
Sentences or parts of sentences (A-E) are given below. Choose the correct option such that these sentences/parts of sentences (A-E) form a logical and meaningful sequence.
A. However, the relevant provisions of the IRC were not available for production beyond 2007.
B. The alternative fuel production tax credit for refined coal was the largest tax expenditure related to coal use during FY 2007
C. However, coal was estimated to be a relatively small recipient of tax expenditures in FY 2010,
D. Over 90 percent of coal is consumed by the electricity sector. Coal-fired generation accounted for 45 percent of total electricity generation in 2010.
E. With an estimated value of $561 million in F Y 2010, down from $3.3 billion in FY 2007.
Answer: B
The logical order is D C E B A.
D introduces the topic: coal is used mainly for electricity. C then turns to tax expenditures with 'However, coal was estimated to be a relatively small recipient ... in FY 2010,' and E completes that same sentence with the figure, '$561 million in FY 2010, down from $3.3 billion in FY 2007'. B explains what the large FY 2007 figure was (the refined coal tax credit), and A explains why it fell: the provisions were not available after 2007.
C ends with a comma and E begins in mid-sentence, so C must be followed directly by E; only option b keeps them together in the right order.
