Correct Answer: ACBD


Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.

Sentence A sets the scene by introducing the fact that the speaker's mother has informed them about a new neighbour who has a daughter around the same age as the speaker, followed by sentence C , which follows naturally after the first one to convey the speaker's emotional reaction. It is then followed by sentence B , as it shows the immediate desire of the speaker upon learning about the new neighbour's daughter. The speaker wants to meet her, indicating their excitement and eagerness. Finally, sentence D concludes the sequence by introducing an obstacle or complication.
