Question: Sentences given in each question, when properly sequenced, form a coherent paragraph. The first and last sentences are 1 and 6, and the four in between are labelled A,B,C and D. Choose the most logical order of these four sentences from among the four given choices to construct a coherent paragraph from sentences 1 to 6.
1. Horses and communism were, on the whole, a poor match.
Fine horses bespoke the nobility the party was supposed to despise.
Communist leaders, when they visited villages, preferred to see cows and pigs.
Although a working horse was just about tolerable, the communists were right to be wary.
Peasants from Poland to the Hungarian Pustza preferred their horses to party dogma.
6. ‘A farmer's pride is his horse; his cow may be thin but his horse must be fat,’ went a Slovak saying.
Statement 1 mentions the ‘poor match’ between horses and communism and statement A explains this ‘poor match’, i.e. the communist party ‘despises’ the ‘nobility’ that horses symbolize. Thus, the 1-A link is clear. This eliminates options 2 and 4.
