Show answer & explanation

Explanation

Concept/Grammar rules

Application

The first sentence always introduces a topic and is independent in its meaning.

Here, sentence B introduces the topic i.e. something unusual about the night.

Then sentence D will come as it tells us about the stranger and sentence A further gives details about that stranger.

Finally, the stranger is identified in sentence C.

Hence, ‘BDAC’ is the correct answer. 

And option 1 is correct.
