Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. ADCB.

As the first part tells about the starting of the story it will be the first sentence.

As part D completes the saying of the passerby it will come at the second position.

We have only one option starting with AD so it will be the correct arrangement.

The correct arrangement will be-
