Which of the following should be the SECOND sentence after rearrangement ?

The order of sentences to form meaningful paragraph is given as:
( The statement number in question has been left unchanged for ease of understanding.)

(E)Child labour is no doubt an evil that should be done away with at the earliest. (Here, premise of child labour is introduced and therefore this forms the first sentence.)

(A)Its prevalence reflects very badly on a society that is not able to stop this evil. (This will naturally be the second sentence, as there is continuation of explanation of the 'evil' of child labour.)

(F)But in a society where many households may have to suffer the pangs of hunger if the children are withdrawn from work beggars can’t be choosers. (Here, the most prevalent and primary reason for child labour is given. The paragraph is now taking turn towards explanation.)

(D)The members of these households have to send their children to work even if the future of these innocent children is ruined as that is the only choice open for them to survive in the world. (Again, further explanation is given.)

(C)Therefore unless the socio-economic status of the poor families is improved India has to live with child labour. (This should form penultimate sentence of the paragraph. Here, a sense of closure to the ongoing premise is apparent.)

(B)Though elimination of child labour is an impossible task considering the current socio-economic scenario of these poor families the Indian government is committed to the task of ensuring that no child remains illiterate hungry and without medical care. (This will form the last sentence of the paragraph mainly because it offers a sense of closure to the idea.)

Hence option A is correct.
