Key Points

  • In order to arrange the given sentences into a logical order, we will have to establish a connection among them.
    • The initial sentence is an introduction to the story of a celebration held in honor of King Lion..
    • We will use the sentence 'C' next as it tells us more of the dance of the Monkey who was invited to present its skills in the celebration.
    • After that, we will now use sentence 'D' as it continues the story by telling the reaction of others present there including the Camel.
    • Sentence 'B' shows a connection with sentence 'D', telling the response of the Camel to its envy.
    • Sentence 'A' will hence succeed sentence 'B', telling further how the Camel made a fool of himself, resulting in being driven out of the celebration by the angry animals.
  • Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
