Directions (6-10):The following statements, when arranged in their correct order, form a coherent paragraph. Find the correct order.
A. The apparent fixity in the positions of the stars is due to their immense distance, combined with the shortness of the time during which we are able to observe them. B. It is customary to call them all alike stars. C. In the beginnings of astronomy it was not known that the “fixed stars” had any motion independent of their apparent annual revolution with the whole sky about the earth as a seeming center. D. To the untrained eye the stars and the planets are not distinguishable. E. But since the planets more or less rapidly change their places in the sky, in consequence of their revolution about the sun, while the stars proper seem to remain always in the same relative positions, the latter are spoken of as “fixed stars”. F. Now, however, we know that the term “fixed stars” is paradoxical, for there is not a single really fixed object in the whole celestial sphere.
6. Which line is the THIRD sentence of the paragraph?

Sentence F continues by saying that the term “fixed stars” is paradoxical as there are no stars which are fixed in the universe. Sentence A explains the reason for people believing in this paradox and thus completes the paragraph. Hence the order of sentences is D-B-E-C-F-A.
