S1. She wished she had an hour to visit her old flat in 164th Street - just a turn around the block would be enough, but there wasn't time.
A. "The Prince of Love," she said to herself.
B. An old resentment rose against Honora, who was a born spoilsport and would spoil this trip for her if she could.
C. She walked on, getting her directions, brooding a little because she had been such a city girl once, thinking only of dress and a good time, and now she hardly knew one street from another.
D. She went into the first moving picture theatre she saw because she liked the name of it.
S2. It was about two beautiful young things, a boy with black wavy hair and a girl with curly golden hair, who loved each other and had great troubles, but it all came well in the end, and all the time it was just one fine ballroom or garden after another, and such beautiful clothes!
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
If we start with B (Resentment), then C (Walking on/Brooding), then D (Theatre), then A (Title), the sequence is BCDA.
B establishes the mood.
C continues the movement and brooding.
D and A lead into the description of the movie in S2.
Therefore, the correct sequence should be BCDA.
