Choose the most logical order of sentences from among the four given choices to construct a coherent paragraph.
A. Scholars specialize in single fields, teachers teach single works.
B. Students leave school knowing a few landmark works but little of the landscape which surrounds them.
C. Literary history can be useful and is increasingly necessary.
D. Larger narratives are becoming lost; the perspective afforded by a general view is not widely available.

To determine the most logical sequence of these sentences, let's analyze their individual meanings and how they relate to each other to form a coherent paragraph. ·         Sentence C provides a statement about the value and necessity of literary history, setting up a context for discussing the current state of literary education. ·         Sentence A gives specific examples of how the current educational system focuses narrowly: scholars and teachers concentrating on single aspects or works, rather than broader narratives. This supports the problem introduced in Sentence D. ·         Sentence D describes a problem in the current literary education framework, noting that larger narratives are getting lost and broader perspectives are not widely available. This naturally follows an assertion about the necessity of literary history, as it illustrates what is missing when literary history is not emphasized. ·         Sentence B describes the outcome for students under the current system: they leave school with knowledge of only a few specific works but lack a broader understanding of the literary field. Thus, the most logical and coherent order of these sentences is: 1.       C - Introducing the necessity of literary history. 2.       A - Providing examples of how this problem manifests in teaching and academic focus. 3.       D - Describing the problem with current educational approaches in literary studies. 4.       B - Describing the consequences of this educational approach for students.
