Explanatory Answer
Method of solving this CAT Verbal Ability Question from Para Jumbles question
(c) The logical sequence ADCB comes across as a correct one because in sentence A, a description has been given about chambers which is directly linked to sentence number 1. Sentence D follows, as it is about what he told the committee. This is followed by C and then B which is the most logical sentence which joins together with sentence number 6 as in this both Hiss and Chambers were together before Nixon.
