Answer 1

The correct order is: DBCA.

Key Points

Sentence D, "Today’s woman is a highly self-directed person," seems like a strong opening statement setting the tone of the paragraph.
Sentence B, "Women are rational in approach," expands on the characterization of today's woman described in Sentence D.
Sentence C, "The Fourth World Conference of Women held in Beijing in September 1995," introduces a historical event that adds to the narrative of women's empowerment.
Sentence A, "The 1995 World Summit for Social Development," concludes the paragraph by linking the role of women to broader societal progress.

Therefore, the correct order is "Option 2".

Additional Information

Option 1 (ABDC) does not provide a logical introduction to the topic.
Option 3 (DBAC) places the specific conference before the general characteristics of women, which is less coherent.
Option 4 (BCAD) fails to introduce the subject effectively and concludes with a sentence that should come earlier to support the discussion of the conference.
