Sentences of a paragraph are given below in jumbled order. Arrange the sentences in the correct order to form a meaningful and coherent paragraph.
A. Children however, loved it for its size and said, "Oh, how pretty he is! What a nice little Pine!"
B. But the little Pine wanted so very much to be a grown-up tree.
C. Out in the woods stood a nice little Pine tree.
D. The place he had was a very good one; the sun shone on him, and round him grew many large-sized comrades, firs as well as pines.
Answer: A
The correct order is C, D, B, A. Sentence C introduces the little Pine standing in the woods, and D describes the place he had, with sun and tall comrades around him. B then gives his wish to be a grown-up tree, and A ends with the children who admired him for his small size.
The option beginning with B starts with a wish that refers to the Pine before he has been introduced. In CADB the children's remark comes before the description of the place and the Pine's wish, and BACD also starts with the wish. Only CDBA keeps the introduction, setting, wish and contrast in order.
