Since the first sentence of the paragraph is already given to us, it becomes easy to find the next part as it would link to the first. Similarly, we will keep linking the given parts to form a coherent paragraph.

After reading these parts we come to know that the paragraph is about ‘a duckling’. The paragraph starts with the hatching of the egg. So, the part following it should speak about the little bird that came out of the egg. This we find in part C. As part C is not a complete sentence, the part following it should complete it. Except part B, all the rest are independent sentences, hence part B follows part C. Part B says that the duckling is abused physically and verbally by the other birds so the part following should tell about the grief of the duckling. And this is exactly what part A speaks about. So, part D completes part A.

Hence, the correct order is CBAD.

Thus, the coherent paragraph is- ‘When the story begins, a mother duck's eggs hatch. One of the little birds is perceived by the other birds and animals on the farm as a homely little creature and suffers much verbal and physical abuse from them. He wanders sadly from the barnyard and lives with wild ducks and geese until hunters slaughter the flocks. He finds a home with an old woman’.
