Answer 1

Answer: (B)

b-c-a-d

The first statement in the sequence should be the one that introduces a new topic It must not be a continuation or extension of a topic.

b is first in the sequence: b is chronologically the first event and thus it is also the first in the sequence. It says that the subject woke up one morning to a beautiful sunrise.

b is followed by c: c tells us what happened after the subject woke up. It says that after he woke up he was very hungry and so he headed for the breakfast table.

c is followed by a: a tells us what he had for breakfast. It says that he had two eggs, a piece of toast and a glass of orange juice.

a is followed by d: d tells us what he did after having breakfast. It says that after breakfast, the subject ran to the bus stop for another glorious day of school.

Thus, the correct sequence is b c a d. Hence, B is the correct option.
