(D) finding time to follow our hobbies away from work can be a challenge
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
Option 1 (B), (A), (C), (D) -> Starts with successful people but ends awkwardly with the challenge, breaking logical flow.
Option 2 (D), (A), (C), (B) -> Introduces the challenge first, explains the reason with "as," connects "responsibilities we think are more important," and contrasts with "although...successful people" - grammatically sound.
Option 3 (D), (A), (B), (C) -> Breaks the connection between (A) and (C), leaving "we think are more important" disconnected from "responsibilities."
Option 4 (A), (C), (B), (D) -> Starting with "as" creates an incomplete subordinate clause structure at the beginning.
Hence, Option 2: (D), (A), (C), (B) -> This arrangement creates a coherent sentence: "Finding time to follow our hobbies away from work can be a challenge as we tend to put our personal pursuits aside for other responsibilities we think are more important although the most highly motivated and successful people find time to unwind by creatively stimulating their mind." The sentence logically presents a problem, explains the cause, and provides a contrasting solution. -> correct
