Question:

Each of the questions below consists of a set of labelled sentences. These sentences, when properly sequenced, form a coherent paragraph. Choose the most logical order of sentences from the options.

Call it the third wave sweeping the Indian media.
Now, they are starring in a new role, as suave dealmakers who are in a hurry to strike alliances and agreements.
Look around and you will find a host of deals that have been inked or are ready to be finalized.
Then the media barons wrested back control from their editors, and turned marketing warriors with the brand as their missile.
The first came with those magnificent men in their mahogany chambers who took on the world with their mighty fountain pens.

Explanation:

ED is a mandatory pair. The earlier power of the ‘editors’ in D is referred to as ‘mighty fountain pens’ in E. Again, ‘first’ in E has to be followed by ‘then’ in D to point out a sequence of events.
Between sentences A and C as introductory sentences, A is more suitable. Sentence C should follow B, as ‘alliances and agreements’ mentioned in B will have to be ‘inked and finalized’ (sentence C). Therefore, BC is another mandatory pair. B follows ED. It continues with the time sequence – first (E), then (D) and now (B). Therefore, we get AEDBC.

Hence, the correct answer is option 4
