Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is: CABD.
Key Points
- Sentence C provides a general introduction to Android, describing what it is in the present context, which is a suitable way to begin the paragraph.
- Sentence A gives historical context following the introduction, explaining when Android began and its initial purpose.
- Sentence B continues the timeline, detailing the change in direction for the Android project to focus on an operating system for smartphones.
- Sentence D then concludes the paragraph with information about a significant event in Android's history, its acquisition by Google, which brought substantial changes to the operating system.
Therefore, the sentences in the correct order that form a meaningful and coherent paragraph are CABD.
Additional Information
- Option 2 "ABDC" places the initial development of Android after the change in the project's purpose, which is not chronological.
- Option 3 "DCAB" incorrectly starts with the acquisition by Google, which came later in the timeline.
- Option 4 "BADC" incorrectly places the change to a smartphone OS before the introduction of Android.
