Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. B, D, C, A.
- Sentence B comes first as it has the subject of the sentence "the novel".
- Sentence D comes next after claiming the novel's structure because it provides a contrasting point to Sentence B. It introduces a different angle, the accurate representation of the story.
- Sentence C logically follows sentence D. This is because sentence D ends with "that the reader", which needs to be followed by an action that the reader can perform. Sentence C provides this action.
- Sentence A fits last because it provides specific information about where and when the reader can trace the characters' movements, nicely concluding the description started in sentence C.
