    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. It was the night before the day fixed for his coronation, and the young King was sitting alone in his beautiful chamber.
    B. And, indeed, it was the hunters who had found him, coming upon him almost by chance as, bare-limbed and pipe in hand, he was following the flock of the poor goat herd who had brought him up, and whose son he had always fancied himself to be.
    C. The lad—for he was only a lad, being but sixteen years of age—was not sorry at their departure, and had flung himself back with a deep sigh of relief on the soft cushions of his embroidered couch, lying there, wild-eyed and open-mouthed, like a brown woodland Faun, or some young animal of the forest newly snared by the hunters.
    D. His courtiers had all taken their leave of him, bowing their heads to the ground, according to the ceremonious usage of the day, and had retired to the Great Hall of the Palace, to receive a few last lessons from the Professor of Etiquette; there being some of them who had still quite natural manners, which in a courtier is, I need hardly say, a very grave offence.

    A.

    ADCB

    B.

    CBDA

    C.

    ACDB

    D.

    CDBA

    Correct option is A

    Option (a) ADCB is the correct order of the given sentences.
    · A sets the initial scene with the young King alone on the eve of his coronation, introducing the main character and the setting.
    · D logically continues from A as it describes what happens right after the King is alone; his courtiers leave, which directly relates to him being alone.
    · C expands on the description of the King after his courtiers have left, delving deeper into his personal feelings and reactions, providing a vivid image of his state.
    · B provides additional backstory and a twist revealing his origins and upbringing, which adds depth to his character and connects to his current situation.
