Correct Answer: BADC


Solution : The correct order is the second option: BADC.

The logical flow of sentences is as follows:

  • Sentence B: introduces the scene in the orchard where an apple falls at Hilda's feet.
  • Sentence A: provides a description of the apple that fell.
  • Sentence D: describes Hilda's reaction to the apple, thinking it would be a pity to eat it.

So, the complete paragraph would be: Hilda was passing through an orchard when an apple fell at her feet. She had never seen so large and so golden an apple. She held it carefully in her clasped hands and thought it would be a pity to eat it. So, she wrapped it in her handkerchief and carried it home to store it in her drawer.
