Now, we are left with two choices (2) and (3).
The option (3) states that E will be the second sentence. Now read E sentence. It does not seem to be an independent sentence as it starts from 'this', representing something that has occurred before this sentence.

|
Answer
Explanation
|
ANSWER: ECBFAD
Explanation:
The sentence E gives a general comment on happiness and talks about what it means for a child. First sentence is E.
Next, we have sentence C because it deals with concept of happiness for a teenager.
The third sentence should be B because it now moves on to the view of adults.
Since ‘B’ ends with ‘puzzled face’ and F begins with the same, so F should follow B as fourth sentence.
Since sentence A talks about enjoyment and happiness and D gives relation between the two, so D should follow A as the last sentence of the paragraph.
The correct sequence is ‘ECBFAD.’

ANSWER: CEADFB
Explanation:
The opening idea of this paragraph is given by sentence C.
So, C should be the first sentence.
Sentence E gives us the general opinion about these type of people, so it should come after C.
Sentence A tells us about the result or the actions such people take.
A is logically followed by D, as D provides example of the situation mentioned in the previous sentences.
F should follow sentence D as F tells us how the children feel when restrictions are placed on them.
The pronoun ‘they’ here is used for children, so it obviously will come after the noun ‘children’ used in the sentence D.
The correct sequence should be “CEADFB”
