Answer: A

Correct answer: 2

The correct sequence is 3, 5, 4, 1, 2, 6. The paragraph sets the scene with the lake (3), then the heavy rain and overflow (5), the water forcing its way through the waterway (4), and the strength of that current (1).

Sentence 2 comes fifth, introducing the children on the bank who are put in danger, which is what makes sentence 6, the man rushing to save them, the natural close.
