(g) 1818 saw the advent of life insurance business in India with the establishment of the Oriental Life Insurance Company in Calcutta.Solution
The correct order of sentences would be e, b, f, d, a, g and c. The sentences a, e and g can potentially be the introductory sentences. But e is perfect for an introduction because saying thing the chronological way is the best. Also, e does not fit anywhere else because d talks about the preservation of the traces of insurance, which would follow only after a historical note on the insurance. After e is b , not f because b gives an insight into what those writings were. f follows b. After it is definitely a as it talks about its transformation and is like an introduction on where the insurance business in India today got its form from. g follows a. c obviously follows g, as âthis companyâ means Oriental Life Insurance Company in Calcutta.
