Options:

(B), (A), (C), (D)

(B), (D), (C), (A)

(A), (C), (D), (B)

Correct Answer:

(D), (B), (A), (C)

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 1. D,B,A,C

Let us reconstruct the paragraph according to Option 1, which is: D, B, A, C.

(D) I had resigned myself to sitting at home assuming: This sentence sets the initial context, indicating that the speaker had accepted the idea of staying at home because they assumed that walking worsens knee pain.

(B) that walking aggravates knee pain: This sentence reinforces the assumption mentioned in (D), stating that walking worsens knee pain.

(A) but it was a great relief to find out that nine minutes: This sentence introduces a contrasting idea, indicating that despite the assumption in (D) and (B), the speaker found relief upon discovering that a short duration of walking (nine minutes) can actually be beneficial.

(C) of brisk walk is beneficial for alleviating the condition: This sentence elaborates on the relief mentioned in (A), explaining that engaging in brisk walking can alleviate the condition of knee pain.

So, the reconstructed paragraph reads: "I had resigned myself to sitting at home assuming that walking aggravates knee pain, but it was a great relief to find out that nine minutes of brisk walk is beneficial for alleviating the condition."
