While arranging sentences, we need to identify the central theme of the given set of sentences. The seven given statements are based on the backdrop of the idea of reading minds in fictional movies. It is statement B that lays down the theme, thus, B is the first sentence of the given set.
Statement A builds on the argument as to what should one pay to read into someone's mind, which is the basic question and statement C states as to how this question of reading minds has been the basis of all fictional works; hence AC is a mandatory pair.
Statements E and G talk about a bargain. The former uses the word 'once' and the latter uses the word 'still seems', thus, making sentence E signify the past and sentence G signify the present time.
The phrase, 'a penny for your thoughts' is a way of asking as to what are others thinking. Statement D says that ever since the phrase was coined, due to inflationary tendencies, the same penny is worth 40 dollars today. Statements D and G should go together as they talk about the present time.
Statement F talks about how much more would you pay given you know the truthfulness of the same phrase and hence is referring to the future, thus should follow D.
The correct order of sequence for the given set is BACEGDF.
