Correct Answer :
E
Solution :
To determine the correct third sentence in the logical sequence of the paragraph, let us analyze the six given sentences step-by-step:
(A) However, occupational safety and health (OSH) has not received due attention from law-makers and even trade unions in India.
(B) The report was mainly concerning occupational safety and health in the auto sector.
(C) But unfortunately only major accidents are reported.
(D) It is a fact that industrial accidents are hazardous events that occur often.
(E) Recently, the CRUSHED Report 2021 released by Safe in India (SII) portrays a dismal picture about the same.
(F) OSH is an existential human and labour right. (Fixed as the LAST sentence)
Step-by-Step Rearrangement:
1. First Sentence: Sentence (D) introduces the broad topic of industrial accidents ("It is a fact that industrial accidents are hazardous events that occur often."). This serves as a strong opening statement.
2. Second Sentence: Sentence (C) builds upon the mention of industrial accidents by contrasting frequency with reporting ("But unfortunately only major accidents are reported.").
3. Third Sentence: Sentence (E) introduces evidence regarding this situation ("Recently, the CRUSHED Report 2021 released by Safe in India (SII) portrays a dismal picture about the same."). Here, "about the same" refers to the frequency and reporting of industrial accidents.
4. Fourth Sentence: Sentence (B) provides specific details about the report mentioned in sentence (E) ("The report was mainly concerning occupational safety and health in the auto sector.").
5. Fifth Sentence: Sentence (A) highlights the neglect of this issue ("However, occupational safety and health (OSH) has not received due attention from law-makers and even trade unions in India.").
6. Sixth (Last) Sentence: Sentence (F) concludes the paragraph as given ("OSH is an existential human and labour right.").
Thus, the logical sequence of the paragraph is D - C - E - B - A - F.
The third sentence in this coherent sequence is (E).
Therefore, the correct answer is E.
