- Step 1: Identify the opening sentence. Sentence C introduces Meera and her love for painting, setting the context. It's logical as the starting point.
- Step 2: Determine the sequence. Sentence B mentions her family's objection, which follows C as it contrasts Meera's passion. Sentence A states her decision to pursue painting, logically following the family's urging in B. Sentence D concludes with her action (enrolling in art school) despite objections, linking to A and B.
- Step 3: Test the sequence C, B, A, D. C: Meera's love for painting. B: Family urges stability. A: Meera decides to pursue painting. D: She enrolls despite objections. This forms a coherent narrative.
- Step 4: Evaluate options. Option (1) C, A, B, D places A (decision) before B (objection), which is illogical as objections precede decisions. Option (2) C, B, A, D follows the logical flow. Option (3) A, C, B, D starts with the decision, lacking context. Option (4) B, C, A, D starts with objection without introducing Meera's passion.
- Step 5: Verify coherence. C, B, A, D reads smoothly: Meera's passion, family's objection, her decision, and action.
- Step 6: Conclusion. Option (2) is correct.
