Question:

Examine the four jumbled sentences. Out of the given options, pick the one that gives their correct order.

A. As they speed along, they tend to go straight off into space but the pull of the earth keeps them from doing so.
B. The artificial satellites do not fall because they are going too fast to do so.
C. They are artificial satellite made by man and very much smaller than the man.
D. Today the earth has many satellites besides the moon.

Options:

DACB

ACBD

CBAD

BCAD

Correct Answer:

DACB

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) - DACB

The correct order for the information about artificial satellites is:

  1. Today the earth has many satellites besides the moon. (This establishes the context of artificial satellites.)
  2. They are artificial satellites made by man and very much smaller than the moon. (This clarifies what these satellites are and differentiates them from the moon.)
  3. The artificial satellites do not fall because they are going too fast to do so. (This explains why they stay in orbit.)
  4. As they speed along, they tend to go straight off into space but the pull of the earth keeps them from doing so. (This provides a more detailed explanation of the concept – their tangential velocity keeps them in orbit, countered by Earth's gravity.)

Therefore, the answer is DACB.
