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

(B) her decision to buy the expensive brand was

(C) her preference while ignoring any negative feedback

(D) influenced by 'confirmation bias' as she only paid

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Option 1: (A), (C), (B), (D) -> Creates a fragmented sentence with no logical flow or grammatical structure.

Option 2: (B), (A), (C), (D) -> Breaks the sentence structure by placing "attention to positive reviews" immediately after "was," making it grammatically incorrect.

Option 3: (B), (D), (A), (C) -> Forms the complete sentence: "Her decision to buy the expensive brand was influenced by 'confirmation bias' as she only paid attention to positive reviews that supported her preference while ignoring any negative feedback" - grammatically correct and logically coherent.

Option 4: (C), (A), (D), (B) -> Starts with "her preference" without context and ends with "was," creating a meaningless sequence.


Hence, Option 3: (B), (D), (A), (C) -> This sequence correctly explains confirmation bias in a purchasing decision, with proper subject-verb agreement and logical flow of ideas from the decision, to the psychological bias, to the specific behavior of selective attention -> correct
