Question:

Arrange the given sentences in the most logical sequence.

i. At dusk, I allowed Adele to put away books and work, and to run downstairs.
ii. Twilight and snowflakes together thickened the air hid the very shrubs
iii. The afternoon was wild and snowy and we passed it in the schoolroom.
iv. Left alone, I walked to the window but nothing was to be seen there.

Explanation:

“Afternoon” is followed by “dusk” and “twilight”. Only option 2 beginning with statement (iii) follows this chronological order.
Statement (iii) describes the weather in the afternoon followed by statement (i) which explains what the author did at “dusk”.
Since the author “allowed Adele to put away...run downstairs”, it logically follows that s/he was “left alone”. Hence, statement (iv) follows.
Statement (ii) describes the scenario during “twilight” and lends a conclusive tone to the statements.
Thus, the correct order is iii, i, iv, ii.
Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
