Answer: Option D. -> A small business has to struggle to meet operating expenses when its profits decrease

Therefore, answer option (d) is the correct answer choice.

In the second paragraph, the author explains that, as the government revenue partly depended on Shoguns’ revenue, they had to look for options to increase their income. All the options except commerce were not feasible for reasons explained by the author. This meant that the city merchants enjoyed a very comfortable economic position which made the Shoguns approach the merchants. This is clear from the lines “Most of the …the state”. Therefore, answer option (b) clearly stands out as the right answer choice.

D. Well, you soon will.
___
:
Sentence C and D cannot start the first line as they need an underlying context. Between sentences A and B, B will be the starting sentence of the paragraph as it contains the key phrase 'long,labored joke'. Sentence A is a long sentence and mentions the highly unlikely scenario of many disparate groups of people coming together for a common cause. So BA is a pair. D follows A as it is the answer to the question posed by A. Finally, sentence C gives some information about why these people are going to come together.
So the correct sequence is BADC.

The "their” in (D) refers to the "victims' rights groups” in A. The word "however” in A, shows that something contrary to A should happen in the preceding sentence. This sentence is "E”. Also Only E can follow C as the 'victims' in E refer to the 'air tragedy' mentioned in C.
Hence, the only possible answer choice linking C-A-D-B is option (d).
