(C) In 1859, Charles Darwin published the most important scientific book that is ever written ‘On the Origin of Species’. (D) Rather life on Earth had evolved through descent from a common ancestor with modification by means of natural selection. (E) It revolutionized society’s understanding of the natural world. (F) But, surprisingly on Homo sapiens, Darwin made only a passing mention, that “light will be thrown on the origin of man and his history”.

Which of the following will be the second statement after rearrangement?

(F) But, surprisingly on Homo sapiens, Darwin made only a passing mention, that “light will be thrown on the origin of man and his history”.

Which of the following will be the second statement after rearrangement?

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The paragraph is about Charles Darwin’s book on evolution. The sentence that introduces the topic clearly is (C), which mentions the book ‘On the Origin of Species’. Hence, (C) is the first sentence.

2. The next sentence should highlight the impact of the book, which is (E), stating it revolutionized society’s understanding of the natural world. So, (E) is the second sentence.

3. Sentence (A) follows as it explains the challenge Darwin posed to Victorian dogma, supporting the importance mentioned in (E).

4. Sentence (D) comes next as it elaborates on the content of Darwin’s theory, explaining evolution through natural selection.

5. Sentence (F) follows, providing additional information about Darwin’s brief mention of Homo sapiens, indicated by the phrase “But, surprisingly”.

6. Finally, (B) concludes the paragraph by noting that Darwin wrote little about humans, linking back to (F).

Thus, the correct order is C - E - A - D - F - B.

**Answer:** (c) E
