Explanation

While arranging the parts of the passage, we should find some grammatical or contextual connections between them. Also, the first sentence of a passage is usually independent and introduces a topic. The second one provides more information about it.
Steps to arrange the sentences in the correct order to form a meaningful and coherent paragraph:
- Sentence B will be the first sentence because it is the starting of an incident.
- Sentence D will be used next because sentence B talks about 'tearing down' of the collage and sentence D further tell what the author did to tear down that collage.
- Sentence C will be used next because it further explains what the author found when he entered that room.
- Lastly, sentence A will be used to give a possible explanation the author thinks of the wall being bare.
- Thus, the correct order after rearrangement is option 4 i.e. BDCA.
The paragraph is: My hands had been itching to tear down that collage from my bedroom wall. So, I entered my room in a hurry. But I found the wall bare. Someone had been smart enough to remove it before I went on the rampage.
Hence, the correct answer is Option 4 i.e. BDCA.
