Question 51

Arrange the following in the correct order.
A. The founder of this tradition was a thirteenth-century poet, Jayadeva, who wrote in Sanskrit.
B. Later poets like Vidyapati in Maithili, Narsi in Gujarati, and Chandidas in Bengali , followed Jayadeva's Gita Govinda as the model for their songs.
C. At present, a huge repository of song poems dedicated to Sri Krishna in the same tradition is available to contemporary Krishna devotees.
D. Mirabai inherited a long, rich tradition of song-poems dedicated to Sri Krishna.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Solution

If we observe the sentences, sentence D would be an introduction because it talks about Mirabai receiving an already established tradition. It sets the stage by hinting that something came before her.

[If we choose sentence C as an introduction, the phrase "in the same tradition" will lack context.]

Sentence A follows D in both options. Sentence A gives the origin story of the tradition Mirabai inherited.

Sentences A-B-C forms a block. After Jayadeva started the tradition, other poets built on his work. Sentence B talks about these "later poets" who followed Jayadeva’s style, so it logically comes after A. It shows how the tradition grew. Sentence C, then talks about how this tradition is still alive today, making it the perfect conclusion.

If we observe the sentences, DABC also has a chronological flow from 13th century, then a later period and then to the present.

Therefore, DABC forms a coherent paragraph, making Option C the correct answer.
