Key Points 
 We can look at the given sentence in the following way:

He was _____ (A) that _____ (B) would score well in the _____ (C) _____ (D).

  • He was ''ensuing'' is contextually incorrect. Here the adjective hopeful should be placed in place of the adjective "ensuing" in (A). 
  • The pronoun he should be placed in the place of the noun examination in (B) to make the sentence contextually and grammatically correct. 
  • For the sentence to be contextually correct the adjective ensuing should be placed in (C) instead of the adjective hopeful
  • In (D) the noun ''examination'' fits aptly and is grammatically and contextually correct.

Therefore the correct answer is option (2).

The correct order of the sentence is: He was hopeful that he would score well in the ensuing examination.
