b. However the monsoon turned out to be more than expected.
c. Initially, the monsoon was scarce and water tanks were dry.
d. So farmers couldn't sow grains.
e. Farmers were anxiously waiting for the progress of the monsoon.
Answer: B
The correct sequence is cdaeb.
- c: Initially, the monsoon was scarce and water tanks were dry. ('Initially' opens the story.)
- d: So farmers couldn't sow grains. (The consequence.)
- a: People feared that a famine might hit. (The fear that follows.)
- e: Farmers were anxiously waiting for the progress of the monsoon.
- b: However the monsoon turned out to be more than expected. ('However' marks the turn and ends the story.)
'cdbea' puts the happy turn in the middle, before the fear of famine. 'abdec' and 'bedca' do not open with 'Initially' and break the cause-and-effect chain.
