1. The facts speak for themselves so they need exposition only, not demonstration.
2. At the present moment, it is widely recognised that India holds the balance in the worldwide competition between rival ideologies.
3. It is not, of course, only in geographical sense that India is in a key position.
4. India’s key position simply needs pointing out.
  1. 4, 1, 3, 2
  2. 3, 4, 1, 2
  3. 2, 3, 4, 1
  4. 1, 4, 3, 2

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C - 2, 3, 4, 1
Sentence 2 opens with India holding the balance between rival ideologies; 3 qualifies that India's key position is not only geographical; 4 says this key position needs only pointing out; 1 explains that the facts speak for themselves. Order 2, 3, 4, 1. Sentence 1 cannot open the paragraph as it refers back to facts already mentioned.
