Question: Directions: Arrange the sentences A, B, C and D to form a logical sequence between sentences 1 and 6.
1. According to recent research, the critical period for developing language skills is between the age of three and five years.
The read-to child already has a large vocabulary and a sense of grammar and sentence structure.
Children who are read to in these years have a far better chance of reading well in school, indeed, of doing well in all their subjects.
And the reason is actually quite simple.
This correlation is far and away the highest yet found between home influences and school success.
6. Their comprehension of language is therefore very high.
(d) BDCA is the correct answer choice.
‘these years’ in B connects to ‘three to five years’ in 1.
Then ‘this correlation’ in D connects to what is elaborated in B.
C then talks about ‘the reason’ for this correlation, which is elaborated in A: ‘a large vocabulary and a sense of grammar and sentence structure,’ and is summed up in 6 as: “comprehension of language is high.
Hence, we get 1–BDCA–6.
