Explanation: If we look at the given five sentences we find that 'AC' go together – A talks about the sensitivity of the French to smell and C elaborates that it is culturally conditioned, nurture not nature. Similarly B and D go together – giving an example from history. E is the concluding sentence – 'smell has remained a mystery', a conclusion arrived at after the discussion. So from the choices we have to find where E is the concluding sentence and 'AC' 'BD' are found together. Only 2 has this.

Explanation: D is obviously the opening sentence. We must now see whether E or B follow it. E gives the view of the proponents while B gives that of the critics. Since A qualifies what is expressed in B, BA must go together. Hence D is followed by E and then B A would be the right order.
