1-5-6-3-2-4

Answer

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

Solution

The correct order is 1-5-6-3-2-4. Each sentence picks up an idea from the one before it: Interviewers often ask candidates to describe how they handled a difficult situation. A useful way to answer such questions is the STAR method. First, briefly describe the Situation and the Task you faced. Next, explain the specific Action you took. Finally, state the Result, ideally with a concrete figure or outcome. Answers structured this way are clear, concise, and easy for interviewers to remember. Each wrong choice swaps just one pair of neighboring sentences, which breaks one of these links.
