Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Correct sequence: sentences 3 → 2 → 1 → 4.

  1. Sentence 3: When the RBI governor came to inaugurate the new printing press, the local unit of the BJP handed him a gift wrapped box.

  2. Sentence 2: The unsuspecting governor opened the box in full view of the gathering.

  3. Sentence 1: What came out was very large garland made out of currency notes.

  4. Sentence 4: There was a twist – the notes were all as tattered as notes could get.

Explanation:

  • Sentence 3 sets the scene by introducing the governor and the gift; it must come first.

  • Sentence 2 describes the action of opening the box, which must follow the presentation of the gift.

  • Sentence 1 reports what emerged from the box, so it naturally follows the box-opening.

  • Sentence 4 is a concluding twist about the condition of the notes and therefore belongs at the end.

Why other orders fail: Any sequence that places the concluding twist or the description of the garland before the box is opened breaks the chronological cause-and-effect flow and is therefore incorrect.
