Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1, i.e. DCBA.
- Sentence D introduces us to the beginning of the story by introducing the main character, the chihuahua and it's mode of action, running away.
- Sentence C introduces the second character involved in the story, the police and his/her mode of action, chasing the dog. This inclusion of details make this statement fit to appear at second place.
- Sentence B offers a twist in plot, where the police catches the runaway dog. This can be treated as a result of the entire chase and hence becomes the third sentence of this passage.
- Sentence A talks about the motif of the officers after having caught the dog. This can be treated as a conclusive point to the story because this motif appears righht after having successfully caught the runaway dog.
This arrangement follows a sequential pattern where the events are added one after the other without losing any fluency or meaning in the passage.
