Question: Arrange the sentences A, B, C, and D from a logical sequence between sentences 1 and 6.
1. It is significant that one of the most common objections to competition is that it is blind.
A. This is important because in a system of free enterprise based on private property chances are not equal and there is indeed a strong case for reducing the inequality of opportunity.
B. Rather it is a choice between a system where it is the will of few persons that decides who is to get what and one where it depends at least partly, on the ability and the enterprise of the people concerned.
C. Although competition and justice may have little else in common, it is as much a commendation of competition as of justice that it is no respecter of persons.
D. The choice today is not between a system in which everybody will get what he deserves according to some universal standard and one where individuals’ shares are determined by chance of goodwill.
6. The fact that opportunities open to the poor in a competitive society are much more restricted than those open to the rich, does not make it less true that in such a society the poor are more free than a person commanding much greater material comfort in a different type of society.
C. makes a comparison between competition and justice. D. states what the choice is ‘not between’, and B. by using ‘rather’ shows that it should follow D. A continues with the idea and leads to 6. Also DB is a mandatory pair and hence, we are left with only one option i.e. A.
