The correct answer is 'B, C, A , D'.

Key PointsWhile arranging the parts of the passage, we should find some grammatical or contextual connections between them. Also, the first sentence of a passage is usually independent and introduces a topic. The second one provides more information about it. 

  • Sentence B is the independent sentence and sets the tone of the passage.
  • So, sentence B is the first sentence after rearrangement. It talks about how the subject (I) was going to their room when they heard a sound. 
  • Sentence C describes the source of the sound and the following events related to it. Hence, C follows B.
  • Sentence A which describes how the noise was being made by the master of the house should come after sentence C, to maintain continuity on the topic. 
  • Sentence D is the concluding statement of the passage as it talks about how the subject viewed the person who came in. 

Thus, the correct order after rearrangement is option 4 i.e. B, C, A , D.

So, the correct paragraph is : (B) I was hurrying away to my own little retreat upstairs when I heard a sound. (C) The street door creaked upon its hinges and heavy feet made the made the whole flight of stairs to shake. (A) The master of the house came in and passing rapidly through the dining-room went to his own room. (D) I could see that his restless eyes were in incessant motion behind his full-sized spectacles and his long, thin nose was like a knife blade.
