    A AB Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B BC Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C AC Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D CD Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E BD Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    A cannot be the first sentence of the passage clearly, as it talks about some purpose which is not discussed earlier. C should come at the first place, as it gives the foundation of the discussion; telling us about liberalisation in the mid-1980s and how perhaps no one thought it would benefit in education sector. B comes second, correctly placed, letting us know about the new economic policy of 1991 and how taking steps was necessary for ‘structural adjustment’ of the Indian economy. A should come at third, as it tells the necessity of such structural adjustments. D correctly concludes the passage. AC is the pair to be interchanged.
