The correct answer is option 3) i.e., ‘BADC’.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, the passage should start with B which establishes the topic related to Mala buying something from a shop.
- It should be followed A that talks about the shopkeeper who had packed all the things that Mala had asked for.
- So, A must come after B. Then BA is the correct order.
- This order is shown in option 3, which shows the full sequence as: BADC.
Thus, the correct sequence is: BADC
