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

A. Inspector: “Were you sleeping when the robbers entered the bank?”
