Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The passage logically builds the idea of Germany's struggle with over-branding during and after WWII, mentioning how the British were previously fascinated by Germany’s Romanticism, and then moving on to the impacts of reunification. The sequence begins with events that intervened, then moves through the branding issue, and finishes with how Germany is addressing its image. Therefore, the correct order is: \[ \boxed{(4) \ \text{DBAEC}} \]
