    C BDAE Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D EBAC Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E AEBC Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    (c) is the right answer as BDAE is the correct sequence and part C is the odd part. B begins with establishing the subject of the sentence as epidemic- Then D follows by telling us what epidemic does - It is the rapid spread of infectious disease to a large number of. A completes D by stating the time period in which it spreads- people in a given population within a short period of time. E concludes by telling stating an example for the spread of epidemic- usually two weeks or less for example 15 cases per 100,000 people for two consecutive weeks is considered an epidemic. C is the odd part as it talks about a warning from Bill Gates about the impact of epidemics - Bill Gates has warned that epidemic disease will kill more than 30 million people in the next 10-15 years and has not been discussed in any other part, it fails to link itself coherently with any of the other parts of the sentence.
