Key Points 

• The sentence starts with "I read a matrimonial advertisement which said ______". This indicates that the following parts will describe what the advertisement said about the person seeking a match.
• Let's analyze the options to find the logical sequence:
• Option 1: ABCD - "highly qualified professional an affable match is looking for who is financially sound" - This sequence doesn't form a grammatically correct or meaningful sentence.
• Option 2: CBDA - "who is financially sound highly qualified professional is looking for an affable match" - This sequence is grammatically incorrect as "is looking for" is misplaced.
• Option 3: DCBA - "highly qualified professional who is financially sound is looking for an affable match" - This sequence forms a grammatically correct and meaningful sentence. It describes a professional who is financially sound and is seeking an affable match.
• Option 4: DBCA - "highly qualified professional is looking for who is financially sound an affable match" - The placement of "is looking for" is awkward and breaks the flow of the sentence.
• Therefore, the proper sequence to produce a correct and meaningful sentence is DCBA.

Correct sentence: I read a matrimonial advertisement which said: highly qualified professional who is financially sound is looking for an affable match.
