Discussion
Choose the most logical order of the sentences from among the four given choices to construct a coherent paragraph.
A. They were cheered by the crowds who gathered outside the palace and in The Mall, the avenue leading up to it.
B. The air display of some 70 military aircraft, following a 41-gun salute from nearby Green Park in central London, came after bad weather cut short a planned fly-past at Charles's coronation on May 6.
C. Britain's royal family rounded off King Charles III's inaugural birthday parade Saturday with a balcony appearance at Buckingham Palace to watch a spectacular fly-past.
D. It ended with the Red Arrows, the Royal Air Force's aerobatic display team, trailing red, white and blue vapours.
Answer: B
Sentence C introduces the event: the royal family ended King Charles's first birthday parade with a balcony appearance to watch a fly-past. Sentence A comes next, saying that they were cheered by the crowds who had gathered outside the palace (the pronoun 'they' refers to the royal family in C). Sentence B then describes the air display, the 70 aircraft that came after bad weather had cut short the fly-past at the coronation. Sentence D ends the paragraph, as 'it ended with the Red Arrows' refers to the air display. So the order is C, A, B, D. Starting with D or A gives no subject for the pronouns. The answer is CABD, option B.
