Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1, i.e. DCBA.
- Sentence D gives us an introduction to the passage, which is about the recreational activity of flying kites.
- Sentence C will follow up next because it adjoins more information specifically to the recreational activity mentioned by the previous statement.
- Sentence B includes a twist in the narrative, where a different point of view is shared. This is evident from the usage of the conjunction 'but'. Hence, this statement will appear at third place.
- Sentence A provides a justification for the information provided by the previous statement, which is why it shall follow sentence B.
The given arrangement is the correct answer because it provides a sequential order of narration where the various events don't get jumbled and the fluency as well as meaning doesn't get lost in the entire passage.
