Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1, i.e. BADC.
- Sentence B provides an introduction to the whole passage, that is referring to the time during summer's end.
- Sentence A moves the narrative specifically to Delhi and adds more details towards this time of the year. This sentence shall appear at second place as it narrows the range of information, bringing in under Delhi's context.
- Sentence D shall appear at third place because it offers a twist in plot. In other words, it adjoins an intense turn of events to the information provided by the previous statement.
- Sentence C can be treated as a conclusive point for this passage because it specifies details regarding the information provided by the previous statement, that is regarding the cyclonic storm.
