In the following questions six sentences are given. You have to rearrange these sentences to make a contextually meaningful paragraph. The sentence (F) , which has already been highlighted, would be the LAST sentence after rearrangement. Later, answer the follow-up questions.

(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.

(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.

Which of the following will be the FIRST sentence after rearrangement?

The correct option is D.

To determine the correct sequence of sentences to form a meaningful paragraph, let us analyze the logical flow of each sentence:

1. Sentence (D): "It is a fact that industrial accidents are hazardous events that occur often."
This sentence introduces a broad general topic (industrial accidents) without relying on prior context, making it the most suitable opening/first sentence of the paragraph.

2. Sentence (C): "But unfortunately only major accidents are reported."
This sentence connects directly to (D) by elaborating on the reality of industrial accidents, noting that despite their frequency, only major ones get reported.

3. Sentence (A): "However, occupational safety and health (OSH) has not received due attention from law-makers and even trade unions in India."
This introduces the concept of OSH in the context of industrial safety and highlights the lack of attention paid to it.

4. Sentence (E): "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 dismal state of OSH in India mentioned in sentence (A).

5. Sentence (B): "The report was mainly concerning occupational safety and health in the auto sector."
"The report" explicitly refers to the "CRUSHED Report 2021" mentioned in sentence (E).

6. Sentence (F): "OSH is an existential human and labour right."
As fixed by the question, (F) serves as the concluding statement highlighting the fundamental importance of OSH.

Thus, the logical order of sentences is D - C - A - E - B - F.

Therefore, the FIRST sentence after rearrangement is (D).
