If statement F is the last statement, which of the following is the SECOND statement after rearrangement?

The passage talks about the judgements pronounced by the Supreme Court in death penalty cases. Statement C is the first statement as it introduces the topic. Statement B and D state what were the judgements pronounced in the three cases. D follows C as ‘those cases’ in D refers to the three cases mentioned in C. Also, B starts with ‘but’ which means that the idea expressed in it is in contrast with the idea expressed in its preceding statement. Since B states that in one of the cases the death penalty was given, the statement preceding it should say that the death penalty was not given. Only D fulfils that condition. Therefore, D follows C and B follows D and DB is a mandatory pair. Statements A and E state the problem with the death penalty cases. E precedes A as it talks about the cases individually whereas A talks about the cases collectively. Also, EA is a mandatory pair. Finally, F is the final statement. Therefore, the sequence is CDBEA-F.
