Correct Answer:

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) - a, b, c, d

The correct order is a, b, c, d.

  • a. PB Shelly was an English poet. This is the first sentence, because it introduces the topic of the paragraph, which is Percy Bysshe Shelley.
  • b. He was expelled from Oxford for publishing a tract entitled ‘The Necessity of Atheism’. This sentence tells us about one of the most important events in Shelley's life, his expulsion from Oxford.
  • c. He detested tyranny and institutionalised servitude. This sentence tells us about one of Shelley's core beliefs, his opposition to tyranny and oppression.
  • d. Born into a wealthy upper-class family. This sentence tells us about Shelley's background, which was privileged but also gave him a perspective on the inequalities of society.
