Question

In the question given below, three sentences are given which are jumbled. Find the correct sequence of these sentences so that they form a meaningful paragraph.
A. Durkheim's 1897 treatise on suicide offered a broader diagnosis of the ills of modernity: he argued that the triumph of individualism, unstable families, and the erosion of communities of solidarity and faith, which could in various ways shield an individual from the vicissitudes of fortune, played an important role in the rise of a general feeling of unhappiness.
B. The French sociologist Émile Durkheim in the 19th century was one of the first to postulate why people had become so unhappy in modern societies.
C. He observed a peculiar paradox as France transitioned from a largely agricultural country to an urban, industrial, consumer society: even as people had greater access to goods and services, and enjoyed the benefits of vastly improved living standards in a manner that would have been inconceivable to previous generations, they were also increasingly susceptible to despair and even driven to suicide.
