Correct answer: C
To form a meaningful paragraph, we must first identify the introductory sentence. Sentence (iv) introduces the subject 'Swami Vivekananda' and the setting 'a small village', making it the logical starting point. This eliminates options A and B immediately.\nNext, we look for what happened after he arrived. Sentence (ii) describes 'Thousands of people came to him', which naturally follows the introduction of his stay. Sentence (i) explains the consequence of this interaction: 'He was so busy with them that he did not get time to eat'. This creates a direct cause-and-effect link between (ii) and (i). Finally, sentence (iii) concludes the narrative by stating 'No one cared to see if he had his food or rest that night', summarizing the situation described in (i). Therefore, the sequence is (iv) -> (ii) -> (i) -> (iii), which corresponds to Option C. Options A and B are incorrect because they do not start with the introductory sentence (iv). Option D is incorrect because it places (iii) before (i), disrupting the logical flow regarding his lack of food.
