6-2-5-4-3-1

Answer

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

Solution

The correct order is 6-2-5-4-1-3. Each sentence picks up an idea from the one before it: The barangay assembly is made up of the barangay's residents who are at least fifteen years old and have lived there for at least six months. This body meets at least twice a year to hear the barangay officials' report on their activities and finances. During these meetings, residents may raise concerns and propose measures for the barangay council to consider. The assembly thus serves as a direct link between ordinary citizens and their local government. In practice, however, attendance is often low. Many residents are unaware of the assembly or doubt that their views will make any difference. Each wrong choice swaps just one pair of neighboring sentences, which breaks one of these links.
