Key Points

•  While arranging the parts of the passage, we should find some grammatical or contextual connections between them:-
  • 'D' follows the sentence as the third person pronoun 'they' mentioned in 'D' refers back to the "Mr Kalpesh Mishra. and Dr. Nath" in the sentence 'A'.
  • Next is 'A' as it describes an instance of one evening where they received a visit of from an acquaintance. Mr. Piyush Sharma. It follows D.
  • After that is 'B' as the noun 'Mr. Piyush Sharma at the end of A and the noun 'Mr. Piyush Sharma' mentioned in 'B' at the beginning brings a connection between the two sentences. B follows A.
  • Last is 'C' as the attribute 'great agitation' mentioned in 'C' is linked with the man's 'nervous and excitable nature' mentioned in the sentence 'B'. 
• Thus, the correct order is DABC.
