Explanation:
The rearranged paragraph starts with sentence E, as it sets the context of the conversation by discussing the 'going rate' for a thought. Sentence D follows sentence E, providing a temporal reference. Sentence C builds on the context by discussing how such questions have been the 'bread and butter' of fiction. Sentence B adds to this by explaining how the idea of reading minds has been attractive in fictional movies. Sentence A then introduces the main point of the paragraph by asking how much one would pay to know another's thoughts. Finally, Sentences F and G provide further context by discussing the truthfulness of thoughts and the sliding value of the dollar.
