Option 2 : BCAD
The correct answer is 'BCAD'.
- The given sentence is an example of a Sentence Jumble.
- We know that the first statement of a sentence jumbled question is usually an independent general statement, a noun, a universal fact, starting of an incident, or it starts with 'most' or 'once'.
- Sentence B in the given question is the starting of an incident. Sir Rowland de Boys died and entrusted his son to take care of his eldest brother Oliver.
- Sentence C will be the next sentence as Oliver mistreated the Boy (Son of Rowland de Boys i.e. Orlando).
- Sentence A will be the next sentence because Orlando's father Rowland de Boys was famous for his gentle manners and fine appearance. This made Oliver jealous and he wished to destroy Rowland's image.
- Lastly, Sentence D will be used.
- Thus, the sequence becomes:
- B: When Orlando's father, Sir Rowland de Boys, died, he left his youngest son to the care of his eldest brother Oliver.
- C: Oliver however proved an unworthy brother and neglected the boy.
- A: As time passed, he grew jealous of his brother's fine appearance and gentle manners, and at last, he wished to destroy him.
- D: It was Oliver who persuaded his brother to wrestle with the famous man who had killed so many others in days past, and it was this cruel brother's neglect of him that made Orlando say that he wished to die.
- Therefore, as per the points mentioned above, we find that the correct answer is Option 2.
