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

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To arrange the given sentences into a coherent paragraph, we should follow the logical sequence of events. Let's break down the steps:

1. Identify the context: The sentences describe a sequence of weather-related events leading to a decision.
2. Order the events logically: The presence of dark clouds logically indicates a change in the weather, suggesting a potential for rain. Therefore, this sentence should come first.
3. Continuity of events: After noting the sky was covered with dark clouds, heavy rain follows, thus the sentence describing the onset of heavy rain should be next.
4. Resulting conditions: As a result of heavy rain, the streets would be wet. Mentioning the wet streets comes after the description of rain.
5. Conclusion: Finally, the decision to cancel the picnic is made due to the unfavourable weather conditions. Therefore, it logically fits at the end.

Arranging the sentences according to this logical sequence, we have:

3, 4, 1, 2

Here's the paragraph:

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