Question:

Arrange the given sentences in the most logical sequence.

i. She was so innovative that she had begun to include the songs composed by Rabindranath Tagore in her repertoire even before the word “Rabindra Sangeet” was coined.
ii. Gauhar knew she could gain the goodwill of the Bengali babus by singing as many Bengali songs as she could in her soirees.
iii. Instead, she rendered them in her own style, giving them a classical twist.
iv. Gauhar was not afraid to defy the norms and in fact she seldom used the tunes that Tagore had set his songs to.

Explanation:

The statements discuss the innovative style adopted by Gauhar with regard to her singing.
Statements (i) uses the pronoun “she”. Hence, it cannot begin the order of the statements. Eliminate option 1.
Between statements (ii) and (iv), statement (ii) makes for a better introductory statement as it sets context for the others. Moreover, “defy the norms” in statement (iv) attributes to “innovation” in statement (i) for context. Eliminate option 4.
Statement (iii) logically concludes the order.
Thus, the correct order is ii, i, iv, iii.
Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
