Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1, i.e. CBDA.
- Sentence C gives us the introduction of the story, about the main charcater that is the penguins who found a camera.
- Sentence B will follow up next because it adds to the information given by the first statement, by talking about how the camera was left there in the first place.
- Sentence D moves the narrative ahead by adding details about the actions of the penguins, hence will appear at third place.
- Sentence A provides a conclusive note by adding a humorous line on 'selfies'.
This arrangement is correct because it provides a sequential order of narration, where the events do not get jumbled and the entire passage gets narrated without losing any fluency or prior meaning.
