Answer: Option B. -> F
The paragraph is about a farmer who wanted to get rid of his old mule but couldn't, and how one day the mule fell into a well and the farmer decided to bury it there. However, the mule was smart and figured out the farmer's plan, and found a way to save himself.
Let's arrange the sentences in a logical sequence:
B. A farmer wanted to get rid of his old mule and buy a new one but the mule always came back from wherever the farmer left him.
F. When they started putting mud in the well the mule realized his master's plan and started thinking of ways to save himself.
D. One day the mule fell into a well and the farmer thought, “Why not bury it there so that I don’t have to worry about getting rid of it?”
A. The farmer called his neighbours and asked them to help him put mud into the well but the mule thought that he was calling the neighbours to help him get out of the well.
E. The mule started shaking off all the mud that fell on him and kept climbing on the heap of mud as it fell into the well, soon he was on top of the mud heap and he easily got out of the well.
C. He walked away from his cruel master and never returned.
Now let's see why Option B is the correct answer:
Option A: If we choose sentence A as the fourth sentence, it would disrupt the flow of the paragraph. Sentence A talks about the farmer's attempt to bury the mule, but we haven't yet established how the mule fell into the well and why the farmer wanted to get rid of it.
Option B: Sentence F fits perfectly as the fourth sentence because it connects the events in the first three sentences to the events in the last two sentences. Sentence F tells us that the mule figured out the farmer's plan when he started putting mud in the well. This leads to the mule's escape in sentence E.
Option C: Sentence C talks about a different mule altogether, one who walked away from a cruel master. This sentence does not fit in the context of the paragraph.
Option D: Sentence D is the event that leads to the mule's escape, so it should come after sentence B, not before it.
Option E: Sentence E should come after sentence D because it talks about the mule's escape from the well, which happens after the farmer decides to bury the mule in the well.
