Answer
Correct Answer: (c) (b) (d) (f) (e) (a)
Explanation
Introduction / Context:The composition of text scales from characters to a full book. Correct ordering respects how smaller units combine into larger ones. Sentences are made from words, pages group sentences/paragraphs, chapters collect pages, and the book contains chapters.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- Letters form words.
- Words form sentences.
- Pages contain sentences/paragraphs.
- Chapters consist of multiple pages.
- A book comprises chapters.
Concept / Approach:Apply strict part–of hierarchy from micro to macro.
Step-by-Step Solution:(c) Letters → (b) Words.(b) Words → (d) Sentences.(d) Sentences → (f) Pages (as content on pages).(f) Pages → (e) Chapter.(e) Chapter → (a) Book.Hence: (c) (b) (d) (f) (e) (a).
Verification / Alternative check:Check that each unit is a direct or indirect component of the next larger unit.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:They misplace pages vs chapter or break the micro→macro build order.
Common Pitfalls:Confusing whether pages precede chapters (they do: chapters are collections of pages).
Final Answer:(c) (b) (d) (f) (e) (a)
