Let's join the sentences to give a contextually and grammatically meaningful sentence. 

The correct sequences are:$

A talks about role of journalism, which is connected to telling the truth in D. So, A-D$

Note: $The 'role of journalism' phrase would not be repeated in a single sentence. So, even though both A and E talks about the same thing, they cannot be part of the same sentence. 

B talks about functions of journalism, which is related to role of bearing witness in E. So, B-E$

C talks about opinion pieces, which is related to 'agreeing or diasgreeing' in F. So, C-F$

Out of these, only B-E$ is expressed in the given options.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 4.
