Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
Option 1: (B), (D), (A), (C) -> Starts with "to create" which cannot be the beginning of a sentence; lacks a proper subject.
Option 2: (D), (C), (A), (B) -> Places (C) "was later improved" immediately after (D) without completing the description of who patented it in New Zealand, breaking the logical flow.
Option 3: (D), (A), (C), (B) -> Creates a coherent sentence: "instant coffee, originally patented in the late 1800s by a New Zealand coffee factory owner who packaged brewed coffee beans as powder, was later improved in 1938 by Nestle, which used spray drying to create a creamier and better tasting version called Nescafe" - follows chronological order and proper grammar.
Option 4: (C), (B), (D), (A) -> Begins with "was later improved" which requires a subject before it; grammatically incorrect.
Hence, Option 3: (D), (A), (C), (B) -> This arrangement presents a complete chronological narrative: starting with the subject (instant coffee), its origin (patented in late 1800s by a New Zealand coffee factory owner), the improvement (by Nestle in 1938 using spray drying), and the result (Nescafe). The sentence flows logically and grammatically. -> correct
