Correct Answer: DACB


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Explanation:

  • An official entered our train compartment and asked for passports (D): This sentence introduces the initial action and sets the scene for the subsequent events.

  • No sooner had he left than the customs officers entered (C): This sentence adds a twist to the narrative, indicating a shift in the situation after the initial official's departure.

  • They had information that large sums of money were being smuggled out of the country (B): This sentence provides background information, explaining the reason for the heightened scrutiny and the events that transpire in the paragraph.

So, the correct sentence would be: An official entered our train compartment and asked for passports. He stamped them mechanically and returned them to us. No sooner had he left than the custom officers entered. They had information that large sums of money were being smuggled out of the country.
