Question 45

I. Have you ever gone through a book that was so good you kept hugging yourself mentally as you read?
II. Now, notice the examples I have used
III. Have you ever seen a play or motion picture that was so charming that you felt sheer delight as you watched?
IV. I have not spoken of books that grip you emotionally, of plays and movies that keep you on the edge of your seat in surprise, or of food that satisfies a ravenous hunger.
V. Or perhaps you have had a portion of pumpkin pie, light and airy and mildly flavoured, and with a flaky, delicious crust, that was the last word in gustatory enjoyment?

Solution

I, III and V form a pair as they are the examples to what the author is describing.
V follows I and III as it starts with perhaps and thus, has to have some examples preceding it.
II and IV follow a mandatory pair where IV follows II as IV talks about what is given in II.
Now II and IV follows I, III and V as the "examples" talked about in II are I, III and V.
Between I and III, I will precede III as in IV the author says, "I have not spoken of books that grip you emotionally, of plays and movies that keep you on the edge of your seat in surprise, or of food that satisfies a ravenous hunger".
The order in which is goes is books, movies and plays and then food.
This is the order in I, III and V.
Thus, the correct sequence is I, III, V, II, IV
Hence, option D is the correct answer.
