The sentences given in each question, when properly sequenced, from a coherent paragraph. Each sentence is labelled with a letter. choose the most logical order of sentences from among the given choices to construct a coherent paragraph.

(A) In all social affairs convention prescribes more or less generally accepted rules of behavior.

(B) Of course, there is nothing absolute about conventions.

(C) they vary from country to country from age to age

(D) Convention has a necessary part to play in the life of everyone.

The correct answer is D A B C.

Let's analyze the given sentences step-by-step to construct a logically coherent paragraph:

1. Sentence (D): "Convention has a necessary part to play in the life of everyone."
This sentence acts as an excellent introductory statement. It introduces the central topic of the paragraph: the concept of "convention" and its importance in human life.

2. Sentence (A): "In all social affairs convention prescribes more or less generally accepted rules of behavior."
This sentence logically follows sentence (D) by elaborating on how conventions play a necessary part in everyone's life—specifically by prescribing rules of behavior in social affairs.

3. Sentence (B): "Of course, there is nothing absolute about conventions."
Sentence (B) introduces a transition/qualification to the rule established in (A), pointing out that conventions are not absolute fixed laws.

4. Sentence (C): "they vary from country to country from age to age"
Sentence (C) directly supports and explains sentence (B). Why is there nothing absolute about conventions? Because "they vary from country to country from age to age". The pronoun "they" in sentence (C) clearly refers back to "conventions" mentioned in (B).

Therefore, the most logical and coherent sequence of sentences is D A B C.
