D is the most suitable part to begin the sentence with, as it introduces the subject 'Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez'. E must follow D, as it has a verb 'received' that agrees with the singular subject 'Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez'. A must follow E, as it has the noun phrase 'a Nobel Prize in Literature' that is the object of the verb 'received'. C must follow A, as it has a preposition 'in' that indicates the time of receiving. B must follow C, as it has a modifier 'for his masterful storytelling' that explains why he received the prize.
Therefore, the correct order is DEACB.
Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.
The correct sentence is: Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez received a Nobel Prize in Literature in 1982 for his masterful storytelling.
