Correct Answer: ADBC
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 subject and its pet tortoise. It is the introductory sentence and will be put in the first place.
- Sentence D tells us about the subject's second pet, which is a pigeon. It will be put in the second place.
- Sentence B tells us further about what the pigeon ate (bread and milk). It will be put in the third place.
- The last sentence is C , as it mentions the pigeon's perception (that he wasn't a bird).
Therefore, the correct answer would be ADBC .
