Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
Option 1: (C), (B), (D), (A) -> "Equality of treatment in ought to mean raising the less favoured the case of hopeless unequals..." - grammatically incorrect flow with phrase (D) misplaced.
Option 2: (D), (C), (B), (A) -> "the case of hopeless unequals Equality of treatment in..." - cannot start a sentence with "the case of" without context.
Option 3: (B), (A), (D), (C) -> "ought to mean raising the less favoured up to the levels...Equality of treatment in" - completely jumbled with subject coming at the end.
Option 4: (C), (D), (B), (A) -> "Equality of treatment in the case of hopeless unequals ought to mean raising the less favoured up to the levels of the most favoured" - perfect grammatical structure with clear subject, verb, and complete thought.
Hence, Option 4: (C), (D), (B), (A) -> This arrangement creates a coherent philosophical statement about equality: the subject "Equality of treatment" is properly qualified by "in the case of hopeless unequals," followed by what it "ought to mean," which is "raising the less favoured up to the levels of the most favoured" -> correct
