B: The donkey was happy. C: On the way, they had to cross a stream. D: The salt dissolved in the water and hence the bag became very light to carry. S-6 Then the donkey started to play the same trick every day. Correct Answer CADB

The correct answer is option 3.

  • Sentence C contains the phrase 'had to cross', which, in the given context refers to a recurring event.
  • Hence, C directly follows S-1 which  establishes the recurring event of the salt seller carrying the salt bag on his donkey to the market every day. 
  • Sentence A follows C as it talks about an event which happened on a particular day and talks about events occurring down the line. 
  • Sentence D is the logical conclusion of sentence A and should come just after A.
  • Sentence B ends the whole thread of events as it brings to the whole sequence, a sense of closure

Hence, the proper sequence of events is S-1--C--A--D--B--S-6
