Correct answer: B

Explanation

Correct Answer: BACD
Explanation
• B introduces the main subject (Lisa) and establishes the setting (waiting for exam results), making it the ideal opening sentence.
• A logically follows B, describing Lisa's anxious action using the pronoun 'She' to show how she was waiting.
