Read the following sentences, adapted from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, and
answer the question that follows:
I. There was not a moment to be lost: away went Alice like the wind, and was
just in time to hear it say, as it turned a corner, “Oh my ears and whiskers,
how late it's getting!â€
II. There were doors all round the hall, but they were all locked; and Alice went
all the way down one side and up the other, trying every door.
III. Alice looked up, but it was all dark overhead; before her was another long
passage, and the White Rabbit was in sight, hurrying down it.
IV. She was close behind it when she turned the corner, but the Rabbit was no
longer to be seen: she found herself in a long, low hall, which was lit up by a
row of lamps hanging from the roof
Which of the following choices shows the best chronological order for the sentences within the paragraph?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct chronological order for the sentences within a paragraph should follow the sequence of events logically. In this case, 'I, II, III, IV' is the correct order. Sentence I usually sets the stage or introduces the main idea, followed by sentence II, which provides additional information. Sentence III usually presents the climax or a turning point, leading to sentence IV, which wraps up the paragraph. Choice C, 'I, II, III, IV,' maintains this logical progression, making it the best chronological order. Choices A, B, and D do not follow a coherent chronological sequence and disrupt the flow of events within the paragraph.
