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 A is independent and introduces the questioning by the Inspector.
- It should be followed by D which provides the guard's answer to the question asked by the Inspector.
- So, D must come after A. Then AD is the correct order.
- This order is shown in option 4, which shows the full sequence as: ADCB.
- Thus, the correct sequence is: ADCB
