      Solution

      A and D make a pair because A talks about 'Russian, Iranian and Young Turk revolutions' and D refers to these upheavals (a violent or sudden change or disruption to something; synonym of revolutions) with the pronoun 'these'. C should immediately precede A because sentence A refers to a singular revolutionary with the pronoun 'he'; and only C talks about a singular revolutionary (Rostom). Also, C should be the first sentence in the correct sequence because it introduces the revolutionary and the overall theme of the paragraph. Thus, the correct sequence should start with CAD. F uses the phrase 'in all three cases' which refer to the idea stated in D (these upheavals) and hence F should be fourth in the correct sequence. E has been placed in its correct position i.e. fifth in the sequence; that leaves B with only one position - the last. Hence the correct sequence should be CADFEB. X should be the part to start this sentence because only it introduces the subject - (they) 'democratisers'. X ends with a relative pronoun 'who' which expects a verb to immediately follow it. Thus Z (the only part which starts with a verb) should be the second part of the sentence. W (starts with a noun 'autocracy') should immediately follow Z because Z ends with the phrase 'opposition to' which expects a noun (part Y starts with a conjunction 'and'). And Y should be the last part. Thus, the correct sequence is XZWY. Answer is option (c).
