Correct Answer: BCAD


Solution : The correct order is the third option: BCAD.

The logical flow of the sentences is as follows:

  • Sentence B: This sentence sets the initial context by describing the immediate actions of passengers after takeoff. The use of "no sooner" indicates a quick sequence of events.
  • Sentence C: This sentence provides insight into the passengers' awareness of the flight's duration, connecting the anticipation in the previous sentences to the upcoming long journey.
  • Sentence A: After takeoff, passengers turn their attention to the TV screen, anticipating the start of a movie.
  • Sentence D: Following the realization of a long flight, some passengers engage in reading as a way to pass the time.

So, the correct order would be: No sooner had the big jet taken off than the passengers began to busy themselves. They knew it would be a long flight to Boston. Some turned their eyes to the TV screen waiting for the movie to begin. Others took out books and magazines to read.
