- 3,4,1,2
- 3,1,4,2
- 3,1,2,4
- 1,3,4,2
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - 3,1,4,2
The order is 3, 1, 4, 2. The Meerut mutiny gives sentence 1 its point of comparison, and sentence 4 explains what happened at Visakhapatnam. The sepoys' response follows the British officers' demand, which the order 3, 1, 2, 4 introduces too late for “instead” to have a clear reference.
