Rearrange the following parts to form a meaningful sentence:

(B) carotenoids, vitamin C and E and minerals such as selenium are
(C) known to attack DNA, rupture cell membranes and unravel life's essential proteins
(D) nutrients that slow down the damage to the skin which is under constant Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
Option 1 -> Starts with "nutrients" without first identifying which nutrients, making the sentence structure unclear.
Option 2 -> Begins by identifying specific nutrients (B), defines their role (D), describes the threat to skin (A), and explains how pollutants cause damage (C) - creates a complete, logical flow.
Option 3 -> Illogically connects nutrients directly to "assault due to," breaking grammatical structure.
Option 4 -> Starts with "known to attack DNA..." without establishing a subject, creating an incomplete opening.
Hence, Option 2: (B), (D), (A), (C) -> The sentence reads: "Carotenoids, vitamin C and E and minerals such as selenium are nutrients that slow down the damage to the skin which is under constant assault due to exhaust fumes, smoke, particulate pollution and ozone known to attack DNA, rupture cell membranes and unravel life's essential proteins." This arrangement properly introduces the nutrients first, explains their protective function, identifies the environmental threats, and details the harmful mechanisms - maintaining both grammatical correctness and logical coherence -> correct
