Sentences of a paragraph are given below in jumbled order. Arrange the sentences in the correct order to form a meaningful and coherent paragraph.
A. On the afternoon of that eventful day, I stood on the porch, dumb, expectant and guessed vaguely from my mother's signs and from the hurrying to and fro in the house that something unusual was about to happen, so I went to the door and waited on the steps.
B. I did not know what the future held of marvel or surprise for me and anger and bitterness had preyed upon me continually for weeks and a deep languor had succeeded this passionate struggle.
C. The most important day I remember in all my life is the one on which my teacher, Anne Mansfield Sullivan, came to me and I am filled with wonder when I consider the immeasurable contrasts between the two lives which it connects and it was the third of March, 1887, three months before I was seven years old.
D. The afternoon sun penetrated the mass of honeysuckle that covered the porch, and fell on my upturned face and my fingers lingered almost unconsciously on the familiar leaves and blossoms which had just come forth to greet the sweet southern spring.
1.DABC
2.CBAD
3.CADB
4.CDAB
Correct Answer : 3
Solution :
'C' is the first sentence as it begins the topic of discussion i.e. the important day for a person, 'A' describes the afternoon of the important day so it will be the second sentence of the paragraph. 'D' describes more about the afternoon that was described in 'A'. 'B' is an independent sentence so it can be kept at the end of the paragraph. Therefore, the correct order is CADB.
Hence, option (c) is correct.
