Observing the sentence, we see that ‘range of desires and aversions’ especially because ‘desires’ and ‘aversions’ contrast with each other.

So, the word at (C), in place of ‘concepts’, should be ‘desires’ (A). This eliminates option A and option C.

Observing option B, we can say that ‘the capacity to form beyond’ make no sense. Hence, option B also gets eliminated.

Thus, the correct arrangement becomes: CBA

The sentence after rearrangement:

The capacity to form concepts and to reason allows humans can go beyond this minimum state, with a much greater possible range of desires and aversions.

Hence, option D is the correct answer.

Observing the sentence, we see that only “concern” fits at (A). “Populations” and “prompted” do not make any sense at (A).

This eliminates option C and option D.

Similarly, only “prompted” makes perfect sense after “Second World War”.

Also, “Japanese populations” make perfect sense.

Thus, the correct arrangement becomes: BCA

The sentence after rearrangement:

Concern over Japanese ethnic and immigrant groups during the Second World War prompted the Canadian and U.S. governments to intern most of their ethnically Japanese populations in the western portions of North America.

Hence, option B is the correct answer.

Observing the sentence, we see that “actors” and “other” do not make any sense at (A). Only “wielded” fits at (A).

This eliminates option A and option B.

“Actors” fits perfectly at (B). There is no need to shift it.

“Other” fits at (C) aptly.

Thus, the correct arrangement becomes: CBA

The sentence after rearrangement:

This eliminates option C and option D.

Also, “minimize in a manner” does not make much sense. But, “behave in a manner” makes perfect sense. Obviously, “behave” will fit perfectly at (B).

“Maximize pleasure” parallels with “minimize pain” aptly.

Thus, the correct arrangement becomes: BCA
