A. It makes eminent sense; I grew up with Malthus's ideas brought up-to-date in apocalyptic books like The Population Bomb.
B. It was not that long ago that experts were predicting that our skyrocketing human population would outstrip its food supply leading directly to mass famine.
C. It was the old doom-and-gloom mathematics of Thomas Malthus at work: population shoots up geometrically while food production lags behind.
D. By now, millions were supposed to be perishing from hunger every year.

A.	BCAD	B.	BDCA
C.	BACD	D.	ADCB
E.	CADB

Answer and Explanation

Answer:BDCA

Explanation:
Between B, A and C for the starter B definitely scores in comparison. BA can be ruled out in comparison to BD and BC. Since D cannot be placed at the end, (in comparison with BDCA) BDCA scores. Besides, "experts were predicting" in B is best followed by " by now millions were supposed to perish"-the prediction itself.
