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.

Based on the rearranged sequence of the sentences, answer the following question.

Which of the following sentences will be the third one in the reconstructed paragraph?

The correct answer is Option A.

To determine the correct third sentence of the reconstructed paragraph, let us analyze the logical connection and sequence of all given sentences:

1. Sentence (C) introduces the main topic of the paragraph: a newly published paper about the nearest free-floating (rogue) planet discovered just 1,560 light-years from Earth. Thus, (C) serves as the introductory sentence.

2. Sentence (E) follows sentence (C) by providing specific details about this newly discovered body ("This wandering body, designated Rogue-9...").

3. Sentence (A) builds upon the discovery mentioned in (C) and described in (E) by highlighting why this finding is significant ("Furthermore, because this rogue planet does not emit any light of its own, locating it represents a major scientific breakthrough."). The word "Furthermore" logically extends the discussion of the discovery.

4. Sentence (D) provides context regarding its proximity ("Although this particular world is the closest rogue planet detected so far, it is highly unlikely to be the nearest one in existence.").

5. Sentence (B) concludes the paragraph by explaining the broader context of why rogue planets in general are so hard to find in the galaxy ("Researchers estimate that there are about 100 million rogue planets in the Milky Way, but almost all of them are invisible.").

The coherent sequence of the sentences is C - E - A - D - B.

Looking at the rearranged sequence, the sentence at the third position is (A).
