Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Correct sequence: BDCA
Assembled paragraph: The detective believes that the clues of a crime scene are hidden in the periphery. "Check the dumpsters and small streets," the detective said. So, against the word of the inspector, the search team spread out all over the area, checking small streets and pathways. They found the stains of blood on an abandoned shirt in a dumpster in the next street.
The opening sentence introduces the detective and the focus of the investigation, so it belongs first.
The detective's spoken instruction naturally follows the introduction and explains what should be done next.
The next sentence describes the team's response (spreading out despite the inspector), which follows from the instruction.
The final sentence reports the result of the search (finding blood stains), which logically comes after the search activity.
