(1324 option D)

How is the sequence decided?

• This passage seems to be an excerpt from a story. Hence, the first part may not necessarily be the beginning of the story.
• So, the first part is option 1.
• Then, analyzing the remaining options, we understand that the passage is about two people-June and Casie- who want to buy a cat, Busty, from a pet shop owner, Mr. Smart.
• However, they discover that someone else has already bought Busty. So, they are left with no choice but to take a bird, Tea.

Therefore, the correct option is D. 1324.
