Correct Answer: ABDC


Solution : The third option is correct.

While arranging the parts of the passage, we should find some grammatical or contextual connections between them:

  • Sentence A introduces us to the vague subject 'he' and the description of his face. It is the introductory sentence and will be put in the first place.
  • Sentence B tells us about the perspective of the narrator regarding the vague subject. It will be put in second place.
  • Sentence D tells us about the activity followed by the narrator (reading a book). It will be put in third place.
  • The last sentence is C , as it mentions the lack of concern by the vague subject towards the narrator's attempt at reading.
