Directions (1-5): Rearrange the following five sentences
(A), (B), (C), (D) and (E) in the proper sequence to form a meaningful
paragraph and then answer the questions given below.

 (A) Not all actions are bodily movements, and
the causal theory of action also applies to mental actions such as imagining
and calculating.
(B) It
is not enough for imagining a teddy bear that one has an image as of a teddy
bear.
(C) If a
hallucinogenic drug causes me to have an image as of a teddy bear, then I have
not imagined a teddy bear, since my having the image as of a teddy bear is
something that has happened to me, rather than an action of mine.
(D) A
mental event is an action only if it is caused by an appropriate intention of
the subject’s.
(E) Having
an image is an action of mine only if it is preceded by my having an
appropriate intention. And if, as a matter of complete coincidence, I intended
to imagine a toy just before a hallucinogenic drug caused me to have an image
as of a teddy bear, then I have not imagined a teddy bear.
