    A EBDCFA Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B DECBAF Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C FBCDEA Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D CABFED Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E ABDFEC Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The correct order is: FBCDEA. The subjective pronoun 'they' acts as an object in II while the objective pronoun 'them' acts as the subject in I. Thus, the pronouns 'them' and 'they' must be interchanged. All other words are grammatically and contextually correct at their respective positions. The only option with this sequencing is option (c). Hence, the correct answer is option (c). Sentences with correct order of words: I. They have quietly been unpicking and dropping critical commitments when it comes to the financial crisis and the future economy. II. Sweden, which supplies almost half of the structural wood used in the UK, has recorded its lowest stock levels for 20 years and thus is not able to supply wood to them.
