Correct Answer: BCDA
Solution : The correct choice is the second option: BCDA.
The logic behind the rearrangement is to first establish the setting followed by describing the character's action , and then specifying the target of his gaze. Next, we observe the patient's behaviour before concluding with the context of the communication.
Therefore, the complete sentence would be: He sat in his seat beside the bed, gazing sternly at the patient’s face, hardly showing any signs of hearing what they were saying to him.
