Solution
The correct option is D DBAC
The first sentence mentions the birth of Valentina Tereshkova, in 1937. Hence the sequence of the sentences can be mapped out using the timeline.
Sentence D follows (1) because "Yaroslavl" links D to 1; it clarifies that it "is now a part of Russia".
Sentence B follows D because the text has now shifted focus back to Valentina. (She is 18 at this point.)
Sentence A follows B: the words "later, at the age of 24" follow the life of Valentina in chronological order.
Sentence C follows A because "earlier, that year" refers to the year (1961) in which she applied to become a cosmonat, and "that" indicates that the year has already been spoken about.
The timeline is as follows- 1937, at the age of 18, 1961 (when she became 24).
Hence the correct sequence is DBAC and option D is correct.
Options A, B and C are incorrect because they do not follow the correct sequence.
