Key Points
- The given question is a sentence jumble.
- From the jumbled sentences we can collect that the passage is talking about a man who had two daughters and where he married them off to.
- Sentence B is independent of the any other sentences as it introduces the main characters of the passage, i.e., the man and his two daughters. Thus, sentence B is the first part of the given sequence.
- Sentence D follows sentence B as it states the incident that follows sentence B, i.e., the man visiting his daughter's place after her marriage.
- Sentence A follows sentence D as it is directly linked to it as sentence A serves the reply from the first daughter to the question asked by the man in sentence D.
- Sentence C is the concluding part as it shows us the man visiting his second daughter after he finished talking to his first daughter in the previous sentence.
