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

Answer

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

Solution

The correct order is 5-6-3-2-4-1. Each sentence picks up an idea from the one before it: In the Philippines, a proposed law begins as a bill filed by a member of Congress. The bill is first read by its title and referred to the appropriate committee. After the committee studies it and holds hearings, the bill is debated and amended on the floor. Once approved on third reading in one chamber, it is sent to the other chamber, which goes through a similar process. When both chambers have approved the same version, it is sent to the President. The President may then sign it into law or veto it within the period set by the Constitution. Each wrong choice swaps just one pair of neighboring sentences, which breaks one of these links.
