Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

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

Let’s look at the logical and poetic flow of the lines:

(D) I always eat peas with honey.
– This introduces a quirky or unusual habit.

(B) I’ve done so all my life.
– This supports the first statement by giving a timeline.

(A) They do taste kind of funny.
– This admits the odd result of the action.

(C) But it keeps them on the knife.
– This provides the reason for the odd behavior, creating a humorous twist.

So, the coherent and meaningful paragraph is:

'I always eat peas with honey.
I’ve done so all my life.
They do taste kind of funny.
But it keeps them on the knife.'

This is a lighthearted, rhyming poem — and DBAC maintains both the logic and rhythm.
