Correct Answer: DBAC
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
Explanation:
The main statement, which starts with "I knew that the remedy lay not", should be followed by Part D, which states, "in finding a new flower but in what unfurling its secrets when it will". This conveys that the true answer does not lie in discovering something new but in the deeper aspects that the object holds, which might reveal itself over time. It is followed by Part B , as it is the only part with which a sentence can start, followed by Part A , which contains the advice, and Part C , which contains additional information or the rest of the advice.
Therefore, the paragraph in the correct sequence is: I knew that the remedy lay not in finding a new flower but in what unfurling its secrets when it will. Rohan had advised me over and again: let the past go. Be at peace. Allow the future to arrive at its own pace.
