(B) a world tour, but he was
(C) a nervous flyer and tended
(D) he wanted to go on
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. DBCA.
D ("he wanted to go on") starts the sentence by introducing the subject’s desire or intention.
B ("a world tour, but he was") follows, providing what the subject wanted (a world tour) and introduces a contrasting element with "but".
C ("a nervous flyer and tended") continues by explaining the subject's characteristics and tendencies (being a nervous flyer).
A ("to become severely seasick") concludes the sentence by describing the result or consequence of the subject's tendency.
This order ensures the sentence is logically coherent and grammatically correct.
