CAT 2024 Slot 2 - VARC
The sentence before option 2 states "Now, however, we are having the last laugh". The reason they are having the last laugh is given in the sentence, "Science has officially crowned us superior to our early-rising brethren." Therefore, it fits here perfectly forming a coherent paragraph.
A) Option 4: Placing the sentence here would seem a bit disconnected. The sentence before and after Blank 4 flows continuously and placing the sentence here would break this flow
B) Option 3: This placement would disrupt the flow of the sentence before and after Blank 3. The study mentioned before, blank 3, is the moment where the night owl's position is validated, so introducing the idea of "superiority" will be out of place and feel redundant.
C) Option 1: It may seem plausible initially, but it would not be right to talk about the claim without first mentioning the negative stereotypes, making this placement less effective.
Hence, Option D is the correct choice.
