- In a recent incident, villagers in a tea estate were shocked to find a leopard cub in a trench.
- The cub was then taken to the area where she was discovered and reunited with her mother.
- The 12,500 leopards in India stray into villages due to their shrinking habitat.

- 1,3,4,2
- 3,1,2,4
- 3,1,4,2
- 3,4,1,2
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - 3,1,4,2
The order is 3, 1, 4, 2. The habitat context introduces the incident, after which the villagers find the cub, the vet examines it, and it is returned to its mother. The order 3, 1, 2, 4 puts the reunion ahead of the vet's examination.
