6-2-1-3-4-5
2-1-6-3-4-5
2-6-1-3-5-4
2-6-1-3-4-5

Answer

D. 2-6-1-3-4-5

Solution

The correct order is 2-6-1-3-4-5. Each sentence picks up an idea from the one before it: The Cornell method divides a page of notes into three sections. The largest section, on the right, is used for notes taken during the lecture. A narrower column on the left is reserved for key words and questions added after class. At the bottom of the page, the student writes a short summary of the whole lecture. Later, the student can cover the right side and answer the questions on the left as a self-test. This active review is far more effective than simply rereading the notes. Each wrong choice swaps just one pair of neighboring sentences, which breaks one of these links.
