A
The situations in which violence occurs and the nature of that violence tends to be clearly defined at least in theory, as in the proverbial Irishman’s question: ‘Is this a private fight or can anyone join in?’
B
So the actual risk to outsiders, though no doubt higher than our societies, is calculable.
C
Probably the only uncontrolled applications of force are those of social superiors to social inferiors and even here there are probably some rules.
D
However binding the obligation to kill, members of feuding families engaged in mutual massacre will be genuinely appalled if by some mischance a bystander or outsider is killed.

Solution

ACDB.

‘A’ seems to be the best opening line as it discusses ‘situations and nature of violence being clearly defined’. ‘A’ is followed by ‘C’ which talks about its exception. DB is a logical sequence.

A
Besides, war has a juridical meaning in international law, which has codified the laws of war, imbuing them with a humanitarian content.
B
The phrase ‘war against terror’, which has passed into the common lexicon, is a huge misnomer.
C
How can then one characterize a conflict to be waged against a phenomenon as war?
D
Surrendered, or captured, combatants cannot be incarcerated in razor wire cages; this ‘war’ has a dubious legality.
E
Terror is a phenomenon, not an entity—either State or non-State.

Solution

B, E, C, A , D.

B is the best opening line. E follows B as it explains why the phrase “war against terror” is inaccurate (misnomer means inaccurate). ‘C’ continues the explanation started in ‘E’. Next sentence has to be ‘A’ as it further explains why the phrase is inaccurate. Then ‘D’ finally concludes the paragraph.

A
A study to this effect suggests that the average white-collar worker demonstrates only about twenty-five percent listening efficiency.
B
However, for trained and good listeners, it is not unusual to use all the three approaches during a setting, thus improving listening efficiency.
C
There are three approaches to listening; listening for comprehension, listening for empathy, and listening for evaluation.
D
Although we spend nearly half of each communication listening, we do not listen well.
E
Each approach has a particular emphasis that may help us to receive and process information in different settings.

A
With the passage of time, vices become more apparent and virtues become objects of jealousy and envy, thereby causing contempt and hatred in the hearts of each other.
B
They become familiar with not only strengths but also weaknesses of each other’s characters.
C
Generally people think that familiarity should breed love, mutual understanding and tolerance.
D
They expect that coming together of two persons should bring them closer and forge the bond of kinship between them.
E
But when two persons come closer, they come to know not only strengths but also weaknesses of each other’s character.
