Rearrange the following sentences in correct order to make a logical passage. 1. The blueprint is finalized after approval from stakeholders. 2. First, a basic framework is proposed. 3. Then revisions are made after discussions. 4. Finally, execution begins as per plan.

Correct — A. The sequence words set the frame.

First (sentence 2) opens: a basic framework is proposed.
Then (sentence 3): revisions after discussions.
Sentence 1 has no marker, but a finalized blueprint comes after revision and before execution.
Finally (sentence 4) closes → 2-3-1-4, option (a).

Why the others are wrong

• (b)
  1-3-2-4 — It opens with the finalized blueprint before any framework has been proposed, and puts the "First" sentence in third place.
• (c)
  3-2-1-4 — It opens with "Then", a word that needs an earlier step, and puts the "First" sentence second.
• (d)
  2-1-3-4 — It finalizes the blueprint before the revisions. Once a plan is finalized it is settled, so the revisions of sentence 3 must come before sentence 1.

A process paragraph is ordered by its sequence markers: First, Then, Next, Finally. Place the marked sentences, then slot in the unmarked one.

Here "First" puts 2 at the start and "Finally" puts 4 last. Options (a) and (d) both respect that. They differ on whether sentence 1 comes before or after the revisions in 3.

Finalized settles it: a blueprint is finalized after revision, so 1 sits between 3 and 4.

Key facts

• "First" opens a process, "Then" and "Next" need an earlier step, and "Finally" closes it.
• An unmarked sentence is placed by the logic of the process: here, propose → revise → finalize → execute.
• "Finalized" marks the end of drafting, so in this paragraph the revisions must come before it.

Common traps

• Starting with sentence 1 because a finished blueprint sounds like the topic: "First" in sentence 2 claims the opening.
• Placing 1 straight after 2 (option d): the framework must be revised after discussion before it is finalized.
