Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - 3, 1, 4, 2
Sentence 3 opens the paragraph: Calcutta kept its trams, which run down the centre of the road. Sentence 1 follows with the result, 'As a result there is horrendous congestion'. Sentence 4 gives the remedy, an underground railway to ease the traffic, and sentence 2 ends with 'It', the railway, which was to be the first in South Asia. The order is 3, 1, 4, 2; any order that opens with 'As a result' has nothing for it to follow.
