B. The French Revolution invented modern revolution —the idea that humans can transform the world according to a plan—and so has a central place in the study of the social sciences.

C. It ushered in modernity by destroying the foundations of the “Old Regime�—absolutist politics, legal inequality, a “feudal� economy (characterized by guilds, manorialism, and even serfdom), and an alliance of church and state.

Explanatory Answer

Method of solving this CAT Question from Sentence Rearrangement:

Sentences C and D start with "it" and "that" respectively and can be hence ruled out as starting sentences for the paragraph.

Sentence A talks of a vision. Sentence D starts with “That vision�. So D should follow A. Only options (a) and (d) have this arrangement.

Sentence B is a general premise that the French Revolution invented modern revolution.

Sentence C talks of how the revolution brought in modernity by destroying the foundations of the Old Regime. We can see that there is a link between sentences B and C- both talk of "modernity". C follows B.

Sentence A talks of a “new moral universe� while Sentence C talks of the old regime. So again, A follows C.

The question is " Arrange the sentences in the correct order "
The order is BCAD

Hence, the answer is BCAD

Choice B is the correct answer.
