Solution :

To determine the correct order of the sentences to form a contextually meaningful paragraph, let us analyze the sentences and find the opening sentence:
• Sentence (D) introduces the main subject (John's unique experience and upbringing with learning foreign languages) and sets a general introductory tone for the entire passage. Therefore, (D) is the most suitable starting sentence.
• Sentence (B) elaborates on this "unique upbringing" mentioned in (D) by explaining that he grew up in a household where parents spoke different languages.
• Sentence (F) follows (B) by explaining the result of this early exposure (sparking his interest in language learning).
• Sentence (A) continues the chronological progression ("As he grew older...") showing his continued dedication during school.
• Sentence (E) details how he managed this learning (his innate talent, assimilating vocabulary and grammar).
• Sentence (C) provides the conclusion of his journey (becoming proficient and pursuing a career as a translator).
Thus, the correct logical sequence is D - B - F - A - E - C.

The first sentence after rearrangement is D.
