The correct order of the jumbled sentences is CABD.

  • Being hungry, a poor boy asked for food but was rejected. This is the first sentence because it introduces the topic of the passage, which is a poor boy who is hungry and asks for food.
  • Then he reached to a house and asked for a glass of water. This sentence follows the first sentence because it tells us what the boy did after he was rejected.
  • The gentle lady understood his hunger and went inside. This sentence comes after the second sentence because it tells us what the lady did when she saw the boy.
  • In a minute, she came out with a glass of milk. This sentence concludes the passage by telling us what the lady gave the boy.
