Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. DCBA.

Sentence ‘D’ is clearly the opening sentence, since it introduces the topic of the paragraph 'While writing a story or a novel...’. CB is the mandatory pair as it further tells about the steps to follow while writing a story or novel, 'First of all make it as specific as possible...'.
Part B will follow it which talks about examples, i.e. 'For example, if it begins in a city, give details about the city. ...' 
The concluding sentence is sentence A as it talks about the precise detailing of it. i.e., ' Furthermore, make sure that you give some vivid details...'('Furthermore' is the indicator of a conclusion of the paragraph.)  
The Correct paragraph formed will be:-     

While writing a story or a novel the setting is very important. First of all make it as specific as possible. For example, if it begins in a city, give details about the city. Furthermore, make sure that you give some vivid details of the city making it as real as you can.
