    Question

    Sentences of a paragraph are given below in jumbled order. Arrange the sentences in the correct order to form a meaningful and coherent paragraph.
    A. "Well, you can't make me", she said, looking back at me.
    B. She went on, "Well, you might try", I responded, and she laughed.
    C. She came in and we said hello, then she just looked at me and said, "What do you want?" McKechnie remembered.

    A.

    ACBD

    B.

    DCBA

    C.

    BCDA

    D.

    CDAB

    Correct option is D

    The correct order is CDAB.
    C: "She came in and we said hello, then she just looked at me and said, 'What do you want?' McKechnie remembered."
    This sentence sets the scene and introduces the characters and the initial dialogue. It logically begins the paragraph by describing an action and a question.
    D: "'Well, I want you to grin and seem pleased', I added."
    This sentence follows naturally as a direct response to the question in sentence C. It explains what the speaker wants, answering the question posed in the first sentence.
    A: "'Well, you can't make me', she said, looking back at me."
    This sentence continues the dialogue, showing the character's resistance to the request made in sentence D.
    B: "She went on, 'Well, you might try', I responded, and she laughed."
    This sentence concludes the interaction by showing the character's continued conversation and reaction.
    So, the correct sequence that forms a coherent and meaningful paragraph is CDAB.
