5) Answer: D

If we check and try to analyze, we can easily figure out that C, D and F are in continuation of a thought and can be a part of the body of a paragraph. The parts A and B can be potential starter sentences. But in A, somewhere in the sentence the use of the words “two other developments” make it a part of the paragraph and not a starter sentence. Again, in E the narration is more likely to be a concluding sentence of the thought process of the paragraph.  Hence, we are left with B as the right choice for the starter sentence of the paragraph.

Connecting B – F

B: Over the past 23 years, Google has probably shaped the mostly free and open internet we have today more than any other company.

F: This virtual freedom is under attack in countries around the world, as many countries are restricting the flow of information, and the model is often taken for granted.
