    Question

    Given here are four sentences. The first sentence is in correct order, while the rest of the sentences are jumbled. Pick the option that gives their correct order.
    A. Suddenly she discovered, in a black satin box, a superb diamond necklace and her heart throbbed with an immoderate desire.
    B. Her hands trembled as she took it.
    C. She fastened it round her throat, outside her high-necked waist, and was lost in ecstasy at her reflection in the mirror.
    D. Then she asked her friend, hesitating, filled with anxious doubt: "Will you lend me this?"

    A.

    ABCD

    B.

    ABDC

    C.

    ADBC

    D.

    ACBD

    Correct option is B

    Let’s follow the logical and emotional progression in the story sequence:
    Step-by-step Narrative Flow:
    Sentence A (Given as first):
    Introduces the key event:
    → She finds the diamond necklace, and desire takes hold of her.
    This sentence sets the scene emotionally and visually.
    Sentence B:
    → She is moved emotionally and reaches for the necklace with trembling hands, clearly following her discovery.
    This sentence logically follows A as a natural reaction.
    Sentence C:
    → Now that she has the necklace in her hands, she tries it on and admires herself in the mirror.
    This is a logical progression from B.
    Sentence D:
    → Finally, after admiring herself, she asks for permission to borrow it.
    This is important: she’s emotionally overwhelmed and only then gathers courage to ask her friend.
