Explanation
Correct Answer: CADB
Explanation
• Part C introduces the time reference and the main clause ("this morning, I walked through").
• The transitive preposition "through" directly connects to its object in part A ("the quiet neighbourhood").
• Part D describes the ongoing action ("absorbing the calm as the first..."), where the adjective "first" modifies the subject in part B.
• Part B concludes the subordinate clause ("ray of sunlight illuminated the streets").
