Direction: The sentences given in the question, when properly sequenced, form a coherent paragraph. Each sentence is labeled with a letter. Choose the most logical order of sentences from the given choices to construct a coherent paragraph.
A. Even if the Court is not motivated by an anti-African agenda, it is no less concerning that it acts, without fail, in concert with its North Atlantic backers.
B. It simply reproduces a Western narrative of Russian aggression that justifies NATO’s largest build-up of military forces in eastern Europe since the Cold War.
C. That military intervention in Africa by former colonial powers has been followed, almost without exception, by the International Criminal Court’s juridical intervention, leaves Africans understandably suspicious.
D. And the Court’s recent decision to launch an investigation into South Ossetia—its first extra-African investigation—is but of a piece with its earlier interventions, doing little to assuage that concern.

Direction: The sentences given in the question, when properly sequence...
The ‘Court’ referred to in sentences A and D is, clearly, the International Criminal Court mentioned in sentence C. So, C precedes A and D, as it sets the context.
Sentence C talks of Africans becoming “suspicious"? due to the International Criminal Court’s record of juridical interventions in Africa. What follows C? Both A and D seem to be good choices. Only sentence B seems completely unrelated to C.
Sentence A states that it is “no less concerning"? that the Court acts in cooperation with its “North Atlantic backers"?. Sentence D too makes a reference to “that concern"?, saying that the Court’s first extra-African investigation does not do much to soothe it. Further, D states that the South Ossetia investigation is “of a piece with" (similar to) the Court’s earlier interventions in Africa. Why so? There is no explanation to this in sentence C. But the reference to the concern that the Court acts in concert with its North Atlantic backers, stated in sentence A, does provide the link. It is clear D follows A. Note that sentence C merely talks of a suspicion, it is sentence A that brings up the “concern"? and D elaborates on that concern.
Sentence B sheds light on why investigation in South Ossetia, the first one outside of Africa, is “of a piece with"? the Court’s earlier interventions. It reproduces the Western narrative of Russian aggression.
CADB makes a cogent paragraph.
The question is " Arrange the sentences in the correct order "
The order is CADB
Hence, the answer is CADB
Choice A is the correct answer.

Direction: The sentences given in the question, when properly sequence...
Understanding the Sequence
To construct a coherent paragraph from the given sentences, we need to identify the logical flow of ideas.
Analysis of Sentences
- Sentence C: This introduces the context of military intervention in Africa, highlighting the suspicion among Africans regarding external influences.
- Sentence A: It follows logically from Sentence C, discussing the perception of the International Criminal Court (ICC) acting in concert with Western powers, reinforcing the suspicion mentioned.
- Sentence D: This sentence builds on the concerns raised in A by discussing the ICC’s investigation into South Ossetia, which is seen as consistent with its past actions and does not alleviate the concerns of Africans.
- Sentence B: Finally, it encapsulates the narrative that the ICC portrays, connecting it back to a Western perspective on Russian aggression, which aligns with NATO’s military strategies.
Logical Sequence
The most coherent order is:
1. C - Establishes context of suspicion.
2. A - Explains the ICC's alignment with Western interests.
3. D - Discusses the ICC's investigation into South Ossetia, tying back to earlier points.
4. B - Concludes by framing the ICC's actions within a broader Western narrative.
Conclusion
Thus, the correct sequence is CADB, making option A the most logical choice for forming a coherent paragraph.

DIRECTIONS for questions: The passage given below is accompanied by a set of three questions. Choose the best answer to each question.The issues and preoccupations of the 21st century present new and often fundamentally different types of challenges from those that faced the world in 1945, when the United Nations was founded. As new realities and challenges have emerged, so too have new expectations for action and new standards of conduct in national and international affairs. Since, for example, the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 on the World Trade Centre and Pentagon, it has become evident that the war against terrorism the world must now fight – one with no contested frontiers and a largely invisible enemy – is one like no other war before it.Many new international institutions have been created to meet these changed circumstances. In key respects, however, the mandates and capacity of international institutions have not kept pace with international needs or modern expectations. Above all, the issue of international intervention for human protection purposes is a clear and compelling example of concerted action urgently being needed to bring international norms and institutions in line with international needs and expectations.The current debate on intervention for human protection purposes is itself both a product and a reflection of how much has changed since the UN was established. The current debate takes place in the context of a broadly expanded range of state, non-state, and institutional actors, and increasingly evident interaction and interdependence among them. It is a debate that reflects new sets of issues and new types of concerns. It is a debate that is being conducted within the framework of new standards of conduct for states and individuals, and in a context of greatly increased expectations for action. And it is a debate that takes place within an institutional framework that since the end of the Cold War has held out the prospect of effective joint international action to address issues of peace, security, human rights and sustainable development on a global scale.With new actors – not least new states, with the UN growing from 51 member states in 1945 to 189 today – has come a wide range of new voices, perspectives, interests, experiences and aspirations. Together, these new international actors have added both depth and texture to the increasingly rich tapestry of international society and important institutional credibility and practical expertise to the wider debate.Prominent among the range of important new actors are a number of institutional actors and mechanisms, especially in the areas of human rights and human security. They have included, among others, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, both created in 1993, and its sister tribunals for Rwanda established in 1994 and Sierra Leone in 2001.The International Criminal Court, whose creation was decided in 1998, will begin operation when 60 countries have ratified its Statute. In addition to the new institutions, established ones such as the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, and the ICRC and International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, have been ever more active.Nearly as significant has been the emergence of many new non-state actors in international affairs – including especially a large number of NGOs dealing with global matters; a growing number of media and academic institutions with worldwide reach; and an increasingly diverse array of armed non-state actors ranging from national and international terrorists to traditional rebel movements and various organized criminal groupings. These new non-state actors, good or bad, have forced the debate about intervention for human protection purposes to be conducted in front of a broader public, while at the same time adding new elements to the agenda.Q.
