Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct is option 3 , i.e. BDCA.
- Sentence B provides an introduction to the story, that is the journey of Aditya and the narrator.
- Sentence D follows up next because it adjoins more details about the ongoing journey.
- Sentence C adds more information to the narrative, where they have reached a particular point in the journey. So, this sentence will appear at third place.
- Sentence A talks about certain assumptions based on which they can proceed and reach their destined location. This can be treated as a conclusive point and hence will become the last statement of our passage.
This arrangement is correct because it provides a sequential narrative of events, where the several instances do not get jumbled and sense as well as fluency is maintained till the end.
