Rearrange the following sentences (A), (B), (C), (D), and (E) to form a coherent paragraph, then answer the question.

(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.
(E) This wandering body, designated Rogue-9, is about 10 times the mass of Jupiter and orbits a dwarf star.

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

The correct option is E.

To determine the correct order of the sentences to form a logical and coherent paragraph, let us analyze each sentence and its context:

1. Sentence (C) introduces the main subject of the study: "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." This serves as the ideal opening sentence (1st sentence).

2. Sentence (E) elaborates specifically on this newly discovered free-floating planet, referring back to it as "This wandering body, designated Rogue-9..." and giving its mass and details. Therefore, (E) naturally follows (C) as the SECOND sentence.

3. Sentence (A) adds more information about this rogue planet and why finding it is significant ("Furthermore, because this rogue planet does not emit any light...").

4. Sentence (D) reflects on its distance relative to other possible rogue planets ("Although this particular world is the closest rogue planet detected so far...").

5. Sentence (B) provides broader context/statistics about rogue planets in general in the Milky Way ("Researchers estimate that there are about 100 million rogue planets...").

The logical sequence of the paragraph is C - E - A - D - B.
Thus, the second sentence after rearrangement is sentence (E).
