Given below are four jumbled sentences. Select the option that gives their correct order forming a meaningful and coherent paragraph.

A. My mother, Vimala Kulkarni, told me similar words when I got married.

B. They were usually like: ‘You must adjust to your new house and in-laws, try to learn how they eat and cook their food, go out of your way to be friendly and helpful to everybody,’ etc.

C. When I was young, before a girl got married, her mother would give her some words of advice.

D. But along with this, she said something which helped me immensely in later life.

The correct answer is "CBAD".

Key Points

• Sentence C: - This is a general statement introducing the idea of advice given by mothers before marriage. It serves as a natural opening sentence.
• Sentence B: - This elaborates on what kind of advice mothers would give, logically following Sentence C.
  
• Sentence A: - This transitions to the author’s personal experience, following the general description in C and B.
• Sentence D: - This reflects on the impact of the advice and serves as a conclusion.

Hence, the correct answer is option 2.Additional Information

• ​BDAC (Incorrect): Starts with B, but there is no context given for the advice. Sentence C should introduce the idea before B elaborates on it.
• CDBA (Incorrect): After introducing the idea (C), it jumps to D, which reflects on something not yet discussed. The transition from C to D feels abrupt, breaking coherence.
• ACBD (Incorrect): Starts with A, which discusses the author’s mother directly. However, the context for her advice (given in C and B) is missing, making the start feel disjointed.
