Question

Arrange into a paragraph: 
1. The streets were wet. 
2. We decided to cancel the picnic. 
3. Dark clouds covered the sky. 
4. Soon, it began to rain heavily.

• A. 1, 2, 3, 4
• B. 2, 1, 3, 4
• C. 3, 4, 1, 2
• D. 4, 3, 2, 1

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To construct a coherent paragraph from the provided sentences, a logical progression of events must be established. The process involves the following stages:

1. Contextual Determination: The sentences delineate a series of weather phenomena culminating in a specific outcome.
2. Sequential Ordering: The appearance of dark clouds signifies an impending weather shift, indicative of potential precipitation. Consequently, this observation initiates the sequence.
3. Event Causality: Following the observation of a sky filled with dark clouds, the onset of heavy rain is the natural progression. Therefore, the sentence describing the heavy rain follows.
4. Consequential State: The direct consequence of heavy rainfall is the accumulation of water on the streets would be wet. This observation logically succeeds the description of the rain itself.
5. Final Deduction: The ultimate decision to cancel the picnic stems directly from these adverse weather conditions, thus concluding the logical order.

Applying this logical arrangement yields the following sequence:

3, 4, 1, 2

The resulting paragraph is:

"Dark clouds covered the sky. Soon, it began to rain heavily. The streets were wet. We decided to cancel the picnic."
