Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. BDCA.

  • Statement B is the opening statement since it gives the theme of the paragraph that is related to 'the man'. 
  • The man was away from his home so he wrote a letter. Hence, statement D is the continuation of statement B. 
  • He wrote the letter but he didn't find someone to deliver it to. So, he decided to take it himself. So he went to his town and Then to his home. This shows that Statement A will follow Statement C.
  • Now we have the final arrangement i.e. BDCA.

The chosen option is the same as the final arrangement hence, it will be correct.
