Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2, i.e. CADB.
- Sentence C gives us the introduction of the story where the speaker narrates what happened initially, that is his parents taking him to the sea-side or perhaps a beach.
- Sentence A talks about what happened after they reached their destination, which is why it shall follow as the next statement.
- Sentence D adds more details to the information presented by the previous statement, that is it mentions what the speaker went on to do with the other children present at the location. Hence, this shall follow at third place.
- Sentence B will appear at the end because it provides the next phase of the story. This is evident from the usage of the word 'then' which means afterwards the previous event.
This arrangement provides a sequential order where the various events have been narrated fluently without losing any sense/meaning as the story proceeds.
