Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The correct sequence is 2314. Here's how the sentences logically flow to create a coherent paragraph:

1. 2: "My mum, quite reasonably, wanted me and my sister out of the house, in the sun." – This sentence sets the context of the paragraph, introducing the mother's desire for the children to spend time outdoors, and establishes a reason for the following actions and feelings.
2. 3: "Tales of my mum's idyllic-sounding childhood in the Sussex countryside, where trees were climbed by 8 am and streams navigated by lunchtime, were passed down to us like folklore." – This follows sentence 2 by offering background and justification for the mother's desire, drawing on her own childhood experiences as a benchmark.
3. 1: "If I wanted to sit indoors and read, or play Sonic the Hedgehog on a red-hot Sega Mega Drive, I would often be made to feel guilty about not going outside to 'enjoy it while it lasts'." – This sentence transitions into the child's perspective, detailing how the mother's desires impacted the children, specifically the narrator.
4. 4: "To an introverted kid, that felt like a threat—and the feeling has stayed with me." – Concludes the paragraph by tying the emotive response of the narrator to the experiences described.
