The correct answer is 'd b a c'.

Key Points

  • 'Sentence d' is telling us that there was a birthday party and the author was invited.
  • Therefore, 'sentence d' will come first.
  • 'Sentence b' will come next because it is telling us that he had a lot of work and he went to the party only after completing his work.
  • He was late for the party.
  • 'Sentence a' will be the third statement because it is telling us that his friend's sister asked him why he didn't come to the party last night.
  • When his friend's sister asked him only then he realized that he was late by a day.
  • So, 'sentence c' will come in the last.
  • Therefore, the correct order is 'd b a c'.
  • Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
