The following paragraphs may or may not be in the most logical order. You may be asked questions about the logical order of the paragraphs, as well as where to place sentences logically within any given paragraph.
Strides Toward Safety
1.
Automotive engineers all over the world are responsible for designing and (1) redesigning, special features for the newest car models. These engineers also know that it is necessary to consider safety issues in all new designs. Statistics consistently indicate that car (2) accidents occur more often during the night than during the day. These statistics (3) takes into account
that there are fewer drivers on the road at night.
2. (4) One such design employs headlights that swivel back and forth, allowing the driver to see the road ahead more
clearly (5) by illumination of the sides of the road better than traditional headlamps. Automatic high-beam headlights (6) is another innovative design that could improve the driver’s reaction time. All cars have been equipped with high-beam headlight (7) switches for many years, most drivers do not use their high-beams even when (9) they would provide a great deal more light on the road. Switching back and forth from high-beam to low-beam lights (10) proving to be a nuisance to many drivers, especially when another car is coming straight towards them. Therefore, some car manufacturers now provide a system whereby a device detects when the high-beams should be on and when they should be off, and the change is made automatically.
3. [1] (11) Two other systems that are being developed to potentially increase safety on the road at night, the NIR (or Near-Infrared) system and the FIR (or Far-Infrared) system.
[2] In the NIR system, an infrared light is emitted from the front of the vehicle when nearby objects such as animals or people are detected.
[3] (12) Images will display on a screen in front of the driver who can then respond appropriately.
[4] The FIR system measures the heat radiation of nearby objects and flashes the images on the driver’s screen. (13)
[5] Even as car makers work diligently to improve safety on the road particularly during (14)
dangerous nighttime driving, no device can replace the vigilance and skill of the driver.
[6] More advanced technologies might improve (15) safety, but the person in the driver’s seat plays the most critical role in reducing night-driving incidents.
Q. (10)
  • a)
    No change
  • b)
    Two other systems are being developed that will potentially make driving at night safer:
  • c)
    Two other systems are being developed which will potentially increase night safety on the road,
  • d)
    There are two other systems being developed on the road for night safety that will potentially increase driving safety, these being
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Therefore, some car manufacturers now provide a system whereby a device detects when the high-beams should be on and when they should be off, and the change is made automatically.3.[1] (11)Two other systems that are being developed to potentially increase safety on the road at night,the NIR (or Near-Infrared) system and the FIR (or Far-Infrared) system.[2] In the NIR system, an infrared light is emitted from the front of the vehicle when nearby objects such asanimals or people are detected.[3] (12)Images will displayon a screen in front of the driver who can then respond appropriately.[4] The FIR system measures the heat radiation of nearby objects and flashes the images on the driver’s screen.(13)[5] Even as car makers work diligently to improve safety on the road particularly during (14)dangerous nighttime driving, no device can replace the vigilance and skill of the driver.[6] More advanced technologies might improve (15)safety, but theperson in the driver’s seat plays the most critical role in reducing night-driving incidents.Q.
