Question Details

(A) Furthermore, because this rogue planet does not emit any light of its own, locating it represents a major scientific breakthrough.
(B) Researchers estimate that there are about 100 million rogue planets in the Milky Way, but almost all of them are invisible.
(C) A recently published paper reveals that the nearest free-floating planet discovered is located only 1,560 light-years from Earth, a new study reports.
(D) Although this particular world is the closest rogue planet detected so far, it is highly unlikely to be the nearest one in existence.

Correct Answer :

Option E

CEADB

Solution :

To form a coherent and logically structured paragraph, let us analyze the role and connection of each sentence:

1. Sentence (C) introduces the main topic of the paragraph—the discovery of a nearby free-floating (rogue) planet located 1,560 light-years from Earth. This makes (C) the ideal opening statement.
2. Sentence (E) follows (C) directly by giving specific details about "This wandering body" (referring to the free-floating planet mentioned in C), identifying it as Rogue-9 and describing its mass.
3. Sentence (A) builds on the details of Rogue-9 by using the transitional word "Furthermore" to explain why locating this non-light-emitting planet is a major scientific breakthrough.
4. Sentence (D) provides additional context about this specific rogue planet, pointing out that although it is the closest one detected so far, it is unlikely to be the absolute nearest in existence.
5. Sentence (B) expands on the concept mentioned in (D) by offering a broader estimation that there are about 100 million rogue planets in the Milky Way, concluding the paragraph with general scientific perspective.

Thus, the correct logical sequence of the sentences is C - E - A - D - B.

The correct option is CEADB.
