The recently launched Mission ShakthiSAT, is an ambitious initiative that aims to empower young girls worldwide to excel in space science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). This historic all-girls mission, led by Space Kidz India (SKI), involves a spacecraft journey from lunar-to-lunar orbit and will be part of ISRO's Chandrayaan-4 mission in 2026. Through this mission, SKI seeks to inspire young women to lead in space sciences and demonstrate their potential in STEM fields.

Space Kidz India has a proven track record, having launched 19 Near Space Launch Vehicles, 3 Suborbital Payloads, and 5 Orbital Satellites. The mission's goal is to provide girls with the opportunity to contribute to an actual space mission and witness their satellite journey to the Moon. Srimathy Kesan, Founder and CEO of SKI, emphasized that Mission ShakthiSAT is about creating a global platform where young women can innovate and lead in space sciences. The mission represents the limitless potential of women and their role in shaping the future of space exploration.

Meridian Space Command, a UK-based company, has partnered with SKI for mission management and in-space transportation. Using its orbital transfer vehicle, Meridian will efficiently transport the orbiter and lander to lunar orbit via PSLV, with a planned crash landing on the Moon.

The ShaktiSAT programme also includes an online training curriculum on space technology fundamentals, spacecraft systems, and payload development. Following the online courses, 108 girls from 108 countries will be selected to participate in intensive hands-on training in India, where they will collaborate to design, build, and test a satellite for the mission.

Rearrange the following parts in the correct sequence to form a meaningful sentence:

(A) buying choices on the environment they are increasingly

(B) align with their values, demonstrating a commitment to sustainability

(C) as consumers become aware of the influence of their

(D) interested in being associated with brands that

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

(B), (C), (A), (D)

(C), (A), (D), (B)

(B), (A), (D), (C)

(C), (B), (A), (D)

✅ Correct Option: 2

Option 1 -> Starts with (B) which doesn't provide a proper opening clause for the sentence.

Option 2 -> Begins with (C) "As consumers become aware...", flows through (A) "buying choices on the environment they are increasingly", continues with (D) "interested in being associated with brands that", and concludes with (B) "align with their values..." - creating a complete, logical sentence.

Option 3 -> Starts with (B) which lacks context and doesn't form a coherent sentence structure.

Option 4 -> Places (B) immediately after (C), breaking the natural flow of "influence of their" which should connect to "buying choices."

Hence, Option 2: (C), (A), (D), (B) -> The correct sequence reads: "As consumers become aware of the influence of their buying choices on the environment they are increasingly interested in being associated with brands that align with their values, demonstrating a commitment to sustainability." This forms a grammatically correct and meaningful sentence about consumer awareness and sustainable brand preferences. -> correct
