Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4, i.e. ADBC.
- Sentence A provides a beginning to the entire story, where the speaker delivers the first mode of action, which is learning to push Lily's wheelchair. So, this will appear as the first statement of the passage.
- Sentence D appears at second place because it moves the narrative ahead with the first addition of details after the previous sentence introduced the context of the story.
- Sentence B appears at third place because it adjoins more points to the information provided by the previous statement, that is he stopped the chair besides the pond when she was getting wheeled down to the park.
- Sentence C will appear next because it offers a twist in the plot as the story was progressing. The plot-twist is regarding the changing motion of the wheelchair, which is why it shall appear at fourth place.
This arrangement provides a sequential order of narration, where the events have been elaborated one after the other without losing any sense and fluency as the story proceeds.
