The correct answer is option 3) i.e., ‘CADB’.
Key Points 
  • When arranging sentences, it is easier to order the first few; and then eliminate the options accordingly.
  • The first sentence of a paragraph is usually independent and introduces a topic. The second one provides more information about it. 
  • Here, only C is independent and introduces the subject of the passage which deals with an ant which almost drowned.
  • It should be followed by A which moves the story forward by talking about how a dove saw the ant in danger and what action the dove took. 
  • So, A must come after C. Then CA is the correct order.
  • This order is only shown in option 3, which shows the full sequence as: CADB.

Thus, the correct sequence is: CADB
