The correct order is DCBA.
- For rearrangement of sentences, we need to find the theme first followed by the sequence of events.
- With the first sentence given, we understand that a contrasting feature that differentiates India from other foreign countries has been discussed in the passage.
- In the first line it states that Indian travellers visualise something unusual and different when they visit a foreign country( Singapore or Japan), so the next line should state what unusual features they observe. So we place D right after the first statement.
- Next, we compare the unusual visuals( or features) with that of India. So we place C next in the passage.
- Next, the main issue that brings about this variation is to be mentioned, which is public littering. So, the next sentence should be B.
- Lastly, we give an example of the visuals in India to prove the fact. So, the last sentence is A.
