A. I have seen a great many houses in my time, little and big, new and old, built of stone and of wood, but of one house I have kept a very vivid memory.
B. It was, properly speaking, rather a cottage than a house -- a tiny cottage of one story, with three windows, looking extraordinarily like a little old hunchback woman with a cap on.
C. The cottage was lost to sight among the mulberry-trees, acacias, and poplars planted by the grandfathers and great-grandfathers of its present occupants
D. It had white stucco walls, tiled roof, and a dilapidated chimney.

Correct option is C

Option (c) is the correct order of the given sentences.
· Sentence A starts the paragraph by introducing the speaker's experience of seeing many houses but having a vivid memory of one particular house.
· Sentence B follows A by describing the specific house, comparing it to a tiny cottage and giving a visual image.
· Sentence D continues by providing more details about the appearance of the cottage, such as its white stucco walls, tiled roof, and dilapidated chimney.
· Sentence C concludes by describing the cottage's setting, hidden among trees planted by the ancestors of the current occupants.
