Question

Given below are six sentences taken from a paragraph. The first and the last sentences are numbered S1 and S2 and are placed in the first and last positions respectively and are fixed in their positions. The other four sentences between the first and last sentences are jumbled up and are numbered A, B, C, and D. Rearrange the jumbled sentences in a logical sequence keeping the unity and coherence of the paragraph intact. Choose the correct alternative that best describes the sequence.
S1 Suddenly, in the midst of his distress, he heard footsteps in the corridor.
A. The Count was tall, lanky, freckled, with close-cropped red hair, and a wicked bony face.
B. His knees stuck out from his tightly fitting trousers like two bunions.
C. In a moment the door opened, and in the middle of the diabolical kitchen stood Count Scarlet with threateningly puckered eyebrows.
D. His hands were as large as beefsteaks.
S2 He lifted his aristocratic, hairy red hand, and his tiny pig eyes grinned searchingly: "Well, Maestro!"

A.

BDAC

B.

DCBA

C.

CADB

D.

ADBC

Correct option is C

The correct option is (c).

Explanation:
The correct sequence is CADB.

  • S1 mentions hearing footsteps.
  • C follows S1 logically: the door opens and Count Scarlet enters the scene.
  • A provides the initial physical description of the Count (height, hair, face).
  • D and B continue the physical description, focusing on his hands and knees respectively.
  • S2 concludes with an action involving his hand and eyes, which follows the detailed description in A, D, and B.
So the correct answer is (c)
