The correct answer is 'BADC'.

Key Points While arranging the parts of the passage, we should find some grammatical or contextual connections between them. Also, the first sentence of a passage is usually independent and introduces a topic. The second one provides more information about it. 

  • Sentence B is the independent sentence and points out the opening statement made by a person on seeing a huge number of books on a student's table.  
  • So, sentence B is the first sentence after rearrangement. 
  • Sentence A is a continuation of the the person's statement, where he asks the student a question regarding how they complete their work.  Hence, A follows B.
  • Sentences C and D both are the answers given by the student. But sentence C ends with the phrase 'the student further added' which implies that it comes after another answer. 
  • So, sentence D comes in the third position followed by sentence C as the concluding sentence. . 

Thus, the correct order after rearrangement is option 1 i.e. BADC.

So, the correct paragraph is : (B) Looking at the huge pile of books on a student’s desk, a man said, “What a burden,my son! I pity you.” (A) “How do you manage to complete so much work?” he asked the student.(D) “I don’t think of all the work I have to do,” answered the student. (C) “I focus on only one lesson at a time,” the student further added.
