Correct Answer: d)
Explanation:
Sentence (2) introduces the protagonist Lexi, the time, and the core event (the discovery), serving as the ideal introductory sentence. Sentence (4) follows immediately describing her physical reaction to the discovery (finishing her coffee). Sentence (1) then explains her broader setting and activity (working on her PhD thesis at the university). Sentence (3) elaborates on what that research/thesis involved. Hence, the logical sequence is 2-4-1-3.
वाक्य (2) मुख्य पात्र लेक्सी, समय और प्रमुख घटना (खोज) का परिचय देकर अनुच्छेद की शुरुआत करता है। इसके तुरंत बाद वाक्य (4) उसकी शारीरिक प्रतिक्रिया का वर्णन करता है (कॉफी खत्म करना और कप नीचे रखना)। इसके बाद वाक्य (1) संदर्भ स्पष्ट करता है कि वह विश्वविद्यालय में अपनी पीएचडी थीसिस पर काम कर रही थी। अंत में वाक्य (3) उस थीसिस/शोध का विवरण देता है। अतः सही तार्किक क्रम **2-4-1-3** है।
