ACBD

The correct answer is Option (3) - ACBD

The correct order for the jumbled sentences about the old owl is: ACBD

Here's why:

A. There was an old owl who lived in an oak tree. - This sentence introduces the main character, the old owl, and his location.

C. He listened to others and missed his family. - This sentence provides details about the owl's routine and his emotional state. It connects to the previous sentence by suggesting he might be listening to others talk about their families, which triggers his own longing.

B. Every day, he observed incidents that occurred around him. - This sentence elaborates on the owl's daily habits - observing his surroundings. It can be placed before or after sentence C, depending on whether you want to emphasize his routine first or his emotional state. However, placing it after C maintains a focus on his emotional state and then transitions to his general daily activity.

D. As, before years, he had left his old house and now he was missing his family. - This sentence explains the reason behind the owl's emotional state - his missing family. It provides backstory and clarifies why he misses them by implying he left them at some point.

ACBD offers a logical flow: introduction -> emotional state ->  daily activity -> explanation for the emotional state (backstory).
