(C) carotenoids, found in foods like carrots and tomatoes, are
(D) aging and wrinkles, though they cannot replace sunscreen
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
Option 1: (C), (B), (D), (A) -> This breaks the flow as (D) should come after (A) to complete "skin aging and wrinkles" rather than leaving (A) at the end.
Option 2: (C), (B), (A), (D) -> Creates a logical sentence starting with the subject "carotenoids," followed by what they are "powerful antioxidants," then what they protect against "damage caused by UVA light," and finally the consequence and caveat "skin aging and wrinkles, though they cannot replace sunscreen."
Option 3: (B), (A), (D), (C) -> Starts with "powerful antioxidants" without introducing the subject first, making the sentence incomplete and illogical.
Option 4: (B), (A), (C), (D) -> Also begins incorrectly without establishing what the antioxidants are, and places the subject (C) awkwardly in the middle.
Hence, Option 2: (C), (B), (A), (D) -> The sentence reads: "Carotenoids, found in foods like carrots and tomatoes, are powerful antioxidants that protect the skin from damage caused by harmful UVA light, which can lead to skin aging and wrinkles, though they cannot replace sunscreen." This follows proper subject-predicate structure with logical flow from introduction to explanation to conclusion -> correct
