The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Concept: In sentence rearrangement questions, the objective is to arrange the given sentences in a logical and meaningful order. To do so, we identify:
• The introductory sentence
• The sequence of events
• Pronoun references
• Cause-and-effect relationships A coherent paragraph should progress naturally from the beginning of an event to its conclusion.

Step 1:
Identify the opening sentence. Let us examine the sentences:
• (A) begins with “The teacher”
• (B) begins with “She”
• (C) introduces “Meena”
• (D) begins with “She” The pronoun “She” used in sentences (B) and (D) must refer to someone already introduced. Sentence (C) introduces the main character, Meena. Therefore, \[ \boxed{\text{Sentence (C) must come first}} \]

Step 2:
Determine what happens after the project is assigned. Sentence (C) states: Meena was assigned a project in the class. After receiving the project, the natural next step is to work on it. Sentence (B) states: She worked hard to complete the project on time. Thus, \[ C \rightarrow B \]

Step 3:
Identify the next event. Once the project has been completed, it can be presented. Sentence (D) states: She presented it confidently before everyone. The word “it” refers to the project completed in Sentence (B). Therefore, \[ C \rightarrow B \rightarrow D \]

Step 4:
Determine the concluding sentence. After Meena presents the project, the teacher evaluates her work. Sentence (A) states: The teacher appreciated her efforts. This naturally serves as the conclusion. Hence, \[ C \rightarrow B \rightarrow D \rightarrow A \]

Step 5:
Match with the options. The sequence obtained is: \[ \boxed{C \rightarrow B \rightarrow D \rightarrow A} \] which corresponds to: \[ \boxed{\text{Option (A)}} \] Conclusion: The logical sequence of events is: \[ \boxed{C \rightarrow B \rightarrow D \rightarrow A} \] Therefore, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{\text{Option (A)}} \] “Meena was assigned a project in the class. She worked hard to complete the project on time. She presented it confidently before everyone. The teacher appreciated her efforts.”
