Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
Option 1 -> Starts with advice (C) before establishing the problem - illogical flow.
Option 2 -> Flows logically: research finding (B) → behavioral pattern (D) → scientific explanation (A) → practical advice (C). All connectors work perfectly.
Option 3 -> Places (D) awkwardly after (C), breaking the logical sequence.
Option 4 -> Ends with "which is why" without completing the thought - grammatically incomplete.
Hence, Option 2: (B), (D), (A), (C) -> This arrangement creates a coherent sentence that flows from Harvard research about anxiety disrupting sleep, to explaining how people use devices until bedtime, to the scientific reason (blue light affecting cortisol and melatonin), concluding with the National Sleep Foundation's advice. The connecting words "as," "and," and "which is why" link each segment seamlessly. -> correct
