The correct sequence for the provided Parajumbles is ACBD.
Explanation:
1. Sentence A: "Good writers use more verbs." - This sets the premise of the discussion about what good writers do.
2. Sentence C: "The reason is that if unnecessary words are reduced, the verb-percentage goes up as a mathematical necessity." - This follows logically as it provides a reason that connects to sentence A about the usage of verbs.
3. Sentence B: "However, it is hard to write without verbs." - This acknowledges a challenge associated with writing that aligns with the topic introduced in A and C.
4. Sentence D: "So 'use verbs' is not really good advice; writers have to use verbs, and trying to add extra ones would not turn out well." - This concludes the discussion by suggesting that the advice to 'just use verbs' does not adequately address the complexities of writing, wrapping up the thoughts presented in the previous sentences.
Thus, the correct arrangement of sentences is ACBD which maintains a coherent and logical flow discussing the role of verbs in writing .
