Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4, i.e. ACBD.
- Sentence A introduces the context of the story, that is regarding the visit to a Jewish cemetary.
- Sentence C talks about the speaker's reaction right after witnessing the cemetary, which is why this statement shall appear at second place.
- Sentence B adds more information to the sight and reaction of the speaker. So, it is liable to appear at third place as it adds relevant details to the information presented by the previous statement.
- Sentence D will appear at the end because it tends to justify the entire sight witnessed by the speaker. This justification of the entire experience and reactions talked about by the previous sentences can be treated as a conclusive point over here.
This arrangement follows a sequential order of narration, where the events/reactions/details are added in a fluent way without making any jumbled sense and it doesn't lose the meaning/sense as the story progresses.
