Correct Answer: BCAD


Solution : The second option is correct.

Explanation: The sequence begins by setting the context of normal conditions, followed by the behaviour of the person being referred to and engaging in casual conversation, after which the person would proceed to state the actual business.

The sentence in a logical order is: " Under normal conditions, he would welcome us with a smile, crack a joke or two, talk of nothing in particular for a couple of minutes, and then state the actual business."
