Question

Question

This question was previously asked in

Supreme Court Junior Court Assistant Official Paper (Held On: 13 Apr, 2025)

Answer 1

The correct answer is Option (3) i.e. DCBA

Key Points

The paragraph logically begins with D: "There are many investment banks," which introduces the topic.
Next comes C: "Some of the leading ones include Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers etc.," specifying examples of investment banks.
Following that is B: "Out of these, perhaps Goldman Sachs is the most well known in India," giving emphasis on one particular bank.
Finally, A: "It has offices at both Bangalore and Mumbai," provides additional details about Goldman Sachs.

Therefore, the correct sequence is DCBA, which corresponds to Option (3).

Additional Information

Option 1 (DBCA): This sequence places the specific detail about offices before introducing the examples, which disrupts the flow.
Option 2 (BCDA): This option starts with examples before the general introduction of investment banks, making it less coherent.
Option 4 (CBDA): This sequence incorrectly places "Some of the leading ones include..." before the general statement about many banks, confusing the reader.
