Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1, i.e. ABCD.
- Sentence A gives us the introduction of the entire story, that is about the occurrence of the main subject 'typhoon' in a certain area.
- Sentence B goes on to add more details about the place and it's characteristics, which is why it shall appear at second place.
- Sentence C adjoins details about the primary subject 'typhoon' and it's consequential effect. The consequential details make this statement liable to appear at third place.
- Sentence D offers a conclusive point, that is the end moment after the typhoon and what happened to the people in the affected area. Hence, this will appear as the last statement of this passage.
This arrangement follows a sequential manner of narration where the events are addressed one after the other and the details get added fluently without losing any sense/meaning as the passage progresses.
