The ideal starter of the passage has to be D as it furnishes us with the kind of situation various kinds of businesses went through in 2020. As D mentions about the struggle caused due to sudden outbreak of pandemic, C mentions 'upheaval' which means a sudden big change, especially one that causes a lot of trouble. So, D and C form a mandatory pair where C elaborates on what most businesses resorted to, to stay connected. As C mentions the technological platforms that helped during the difficult times, B mentions the technologies specifically taking the third place in the sequence. Now as B mentions the contribution of technology, E that starts with 'equally' offers how businesses ensured technological agility to secure better returns on investments. Last in the sequence should be A as it contains the time word 'now' which surely means that the sentence tries to convey the current situation in comparison to what has been discussed earlier. So, the correct sequence is DCBEA.

We need to make logically coherent and grammatically pairs to form a complete sentence here. Note that talking about context, A-E, B-D and C-F can be combined to form sentences, but:

A-E: A mentions that soldiers are expected to do something as a part of their training, now that something stands mentioned in E, but it would not form a grammatically correct sentence because fragment E contains the wrong form of the noun word ‘equipment’. Note that ‘equipment’ is an uncountable noun and does not have any plural form.

B-D: Here B mentions a futuristic state of food crisis and how nomadic people would react to it. Since it is a hypothetical situation, the appropriate tense to be used would be future tense. But D uses past tense ‘teared down’. It is an incorrect combination.

C-F is the only pair that can be formed here.

We need to make logically coherent and grammatically pairs to form a complete sentence here.

A-F: A highlights something as ‘persuasive’ about the subject – ‘politician’ as it is an adjective, we need a noun word. As A ends in speaking and we see that F starts with ‘skills’ making the apt noun phrase ‘speaking skills’ that helped him convince the constituents that he is the right person for the job. So, A and F form a correct pair.

B-D- B mentions an avid reader who made a new year resolution and that resolution finds mention in D. So, B-D forms a correct pair.

C-E can also be joined to form a correct pair. As C mentions the subject and the right object finds mention in E.

Note that A ends in ‘vow of’ we need a noun to connect the sentence grammatically. We find ‘poverty’ in D. Reading together we see that the sentence talks about catholic priests who strictly follow a simple lifestyle. (which is mentioned in D). So, A-D can be joined.

Note that fragment B is incorrect. The verb ‘demean’ is incorrect here as we notice that the subject contains an ‘apostrophe s’ which shows possession. This possession here is of some magnetic ‘style or way’, which cannot certainly be sufficed by a verb. Instead, it requires a noun such as ‘demeanor’ which means the way a person behaves. So, it cannot be joined with any fragment to form a correct sentence.

Note that C ends in ‘hoped’ requiring an infinitive to join with it, which is aptly present in F. Contextually also they form a coherent pair.

The error lies in the first part of the sentence. To be contextually correct and to maintain the laws of parallelism, ‘practice’ needs to be replaced by ‘practical’. Since ‘legal’ is an adjective form of ‘law’, ‘practical’, the adjective form of the noun ‘practice’, needs to be used.

Note that when the subject is separated from the verb by such words as along with, as well as, besides, not, etc., we must remember that these words and phrases are not a part of the subject and we can ignore them and use a singular verb when the subject is singular. Here too, the subject is ‘The General Secretary’, so the corresponding verb in part C should be ‘has’ and not ‘have’.
