  • ABCD

  • D

    DCBA

Solution

The correct sequence is ABCD. The question in (1) is answered by A. B follows A by talking about how the state spies upon the taxpayers. C follows B and likens the state’s possible behavior to what the tax authority tries to do inconsistently. D talks about an Orwellian System (a despotic form of government described in Orwell’s novel 1984) thereby linking it to sentence 6.
