Answer 1

The correct answer is: EADCB

Key Points

E: This is the introductory part that sets the context for what Forbes desired or aimed for.
A: This part follows the introduction and provides information about Forbes's objective, which is to simplify the process of filling taxes.
D: This part explains the method or approach Forbes wanted to adopt to achieve their objective. They wanted to simplify the process by narrowing.
C: This part adds more specificity to what Forbes wanted to narrow down; in this case, it's the current five tax rates.
B: The final part concludes the sentence by specifying the desired outcome of Forbes's objective. They wanted to simplify the process by narrowing down the current five tax rates to a single flat rate.
So, the sequence EADCB creates a coherent and meaningful sentence, starting with the introduction of Forbes's desire, followed by the objective, method, specifics, and the desired outcome.

Thus, option 4 is the correct answer.
