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

Answer

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

Solution

The correct order is 6-5-3-4-2-1. Each sentence picks up an idea from the one before it: Dengue is spread by the Aedes mosquito, which bites mostly during the day. This mosquito lays its eggs in clean, standing water. Such water collects easily in old tires, flower vases, and uncovered drums. Removing these breeding sites is therefore the most effective way to control the mosquito. Health officials summarize this strategy as "search and destroy." Under it, households are asked to check their surroundings for standing water every week. Each wrong choice swaps just one pair of neighboring sentences, which breaks one of these links.
