Question:

The sentences given in each question, when properly sequenced, form a coherent paragraph. Each sentences is labelled with a letter. Choose the most logical order of sentences from among the four given choices to construct a coherent paragraph.

The situations in which violence occurs and the nature of that violence tends to be clearly defined at least in theory, as in the proverbial Irishman’s question ‘Is this a private fight or can anyone join in?’
So the actual risk to outsiders, though no doubt higher than our societies, is calculable.
Probably the only uncontrolled applications of force are those of social superiors to social inferiors and even here there are probably some rules.
However binding the obligation to kill, members of feuding families engaged in mutual massacre will be genuinely appalled if by some mischance a bystander or outsider is killed.

Explanation:

A begins the passage by introducing the question of an outsider’s role in a private fight. It is followed by CD which is a mandatory pair. One of the probable rules in uncontrolled applications of force (statement C) is mentioned in D (in mutual massacre too, people do not want an outsider to be killed). Only in option 2 is the pair present. ACD is followed by sentence B which uses the keyword, ‘so’ to continue the idea from D and puts up the thought that the risk to an outsider is calculable. Therefore, the sequence is A-C-D-B.
Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
