The given passage talks about the diagram called Stack and how it is organised.

Statement II introduces Stack.

Statement IV gives a basic overview of Stack.

Statement III goes on to expand on statement IV. Hence Statements II, IV, and III forms a mandatory pair.

Statement I say that on paper, Stack seems easy; however, in real life, the implementation of Stack is difficult. The premise that Stack seems easy could be reached only after explaining the basics of Stack. So Statement I is the last statement.

The correct order is II, IV, III, and I.

Statement II will follow statement I as it extends the idea presented in the latter. Statement V is a continuation of IV; hence, IV-V is a valid pair. Now III gives the reason stated in V and VI is completing III. Thus, IV-V-III-VI is a valid pattern. Since IV explains the thinking described in II, the correct pattern will be I-II-IV-V-III-VI.

Thus, the correct answer is D.

Among the given statements, I can be the opening statement followed by V which says knowledge even when it is exact doesn't lead to the appropriate actions. III is the continuation of V. Statement IV is the continuation of III. II states the reason which is followed by VI. The order will be I, V, III, IV, II, VI. The answer is option B.

III is the opening statement. V carries forward the idea as it talks about what statisticians do. V is followed by I. IV and II states what statisticians do leaving their brains in the class. The correct order is III, V, I, IV, II.
The answer is option A.

II is the opening sentence followed by I. IV is the continuation of I and III follows IV as it explains how the author is trying to be humble by setting a wide range. VI is the continuation of III. Statement V concludes the paragraph by saying how the underestimation happens at the core of author's professional activities. The  correct order is II, I, IV, III, VI, V. The answer is option D.

II must be the opening statement followed by IV. I contrasts with what stated in II and IV. IV is followed by I. III states what excited people do. So I should be followed by III. VI and V concludes the paragraph. The correct order is II, IV, I, III, VI, V. The answer is option C.

OMNISCIENT means knowing everything or "a third-person omniscient narrator". Hence, we can say that omniscient and knowledge are synonymous.

In similar manner, Boundless is related to expanse. Boundless means unlimited and expanse means a wide continuous area of something.

Hence, we can say option B is the correct answer.
