Which of the following is the most logical sequence of the four parts to complete the passage?Long before anyone suspected the existence of genes, farmers recognized that the traits of parents were passed down to the offspring, and thus they could improve the yield of pumpkins or the size of pigs by selectively breeding the best specimens with each other.
[A] Both approaches assume that nature and nurture are implicated in shaping our behavior, thoughts, and emotions. This trend is bound to be magnified tremendously in the next half century as a result of advances in genetics.
[B] Currently two of the liveliest branches of the human sciences are behavioral genetics, which tries to ascertain the degree of inheritability of such behavioral traits as schizophrenia, propensity to divorce, political beliefs, and even happiness, and evolutionary psychology, which searches out the mechanisms by which these traits are selected and transmitted from one generation to the next.
[C] Most of these practices were hit-or-miss, without any foundation in an understanding of how different traits are transmitted from one generation to the next. But this situation is about to change drastically in the coming decades.
[D] Although few important traits are likely to depend on the action of a single or even a few genes, some genetic engineers are confident that the era of “designer babies” is at hand.

주어진 글의 농부들의 선택 교배를 [C]의 “Most of these practices”가 받고, “this situation is about to change”라며 변화를 예고한다. 이어 [B]가 “Currently two of the liveliest branches”로 행동유전학과 진화심리학을 소개하고, [A]의 “Both approaches”가 이 둘을 받으며, “advances in genetics”를 언급한 뒤 [D]의 유전공학과 “designer babies”로 이어진다.
- “[A]-[B]-[D]-[C]”는 “Both approaches”가 가리킬 두 분야가 나오기 전에 [A]가 와서 틀리다.
- “[B]-[A]-[D]-[C]”는 [C]의 “these practices”가 농부의 관행과 떨어져 맨 끝에 놓여 틀리다.
- “[B]-[C]-[A]-[D]”는 [C]의 “these practices”가 행동유전학 등을 가리키게 되고, “Both approaches”도 대상과 멀어져 틀리다.
- “[D]-[A]-[B]-[C]”는 농부 이야기 바로 뒤에 “designer babies”가 오고, [A]가 [B]보다 앞서 틀리다.
