Question:

A number of sentences are given below, which when properly sequenced, form a coherent paragraph. Choose the most logical order of sentences from the choice given to construct a coherent paragraph.

I. Have you ever gone through a book that was so good you kept hugging yourself mentally as you read?
II. Now, notice the examples I have used
III. Have you ever seen a play or motion picture that was so charming that you felt sheer delight as you watched?
IV. I have not spoken of books that grip you emotionally, of plays and movies that keep you on the edge of your seat in surprise, or of food that satisfies a ravenous hunger.
V. Or perhaps you have had a portion of pumpkin pie, light and airy and mildly flavoured, and with a flaky, delicious crust, that was the last word in gustatory enjoyment?

Explanation:

Statements I, III and V are interrogative sentences used as examples by the author to explain language devices. They must come together. Statement II with ‘examples’ follows. Finally, statement IV covers the gist of the examples in I, III and IV and provides for a fitting conclusion. Also, from statement IV, you get the sequence of books, plays and food.
Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
