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 .
