The correct answer is 'd c b a.' Key Points While carefully reading all the sentences it is clear that 'sentence d' is the introductory statement. 'Sentence d' is introducing us to the topic of 'tea gardening' . It tells that tea gardening is done on hill-slopes . Therefore, 'sentence d' is the first statement . Further, 'sentence c' is telling about the locations of the best tea gardens. Therefore, 'sentence c' will be the second statement. 'Sentence b' is telling us about the plucking of the tea leaves. Therefore it will be the third statement. 'Sentence a' will come last because 'this job' mentioned in the sentence is referred to the 'leaves plucking' mentioned in 'sentence b'. 'Sentence a' is in continuation with the 'sentence b'. Therefore it will be the fourth statement. Therefore, the correct order is 'd c b a'. Hence, option 4 is the correct answer. Correct arrangement: Tea is grown in tea gardens on hill-slopes. Our best tea gardens are there in the Kangra Valley, Dehradun, and Assam. It is interesting to see tea leaves being plucked.
