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

A. In the study, researchers found that kids who experienced their growth spurt late had lower than average bone density in young adulthood.
B. Teens who hit puberty late may end up with weaker bones, a new study finds.
C. However, they continue to have lower bone strength even after they finish growing and may be at greater risk for osteoporosis in adulthood.
D. These later maturing teens do catch up with early maturing teens in terms of bone strength.

BADC

The correct answer is Option (1) - BADC

• The correct answer begins with the sentence B as it is introducing the subject 'a new study' and all other sentences are talking about what the study says.
  
• Sentence B will be followed by A which begins with 'in the study', the article 'the' shows that the study has already been introduced i.e. in sentence A.
  
• Sentence D will be followed by C. The adverb 'however' is used to introduce a statement that contrasts with something that has just been said. The sentences mean 'the later maturing teens try to reach somebody who is ahead however they continue to have lower bone strength'.
  

Therefore, the correct sequence is 'BADC'.
