Correct Answer: ADCB


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Explanation:
The paragraph unfolds with the speaker's initial intention to pass the time at the airport by buying some magazines (A). Subsequently, the speaker finds a comfortable seat and settles down to read (D). However, the reading is abruptly interrupted when the speaker feels a hand on their shoulder (C). The unexpected twist is resolved when it is revealed that the person behind the hand is Partha, an old friend (B). This order provides a coherent and logical sequence of events, capturing the initial plan, its execution, an unexpected interruption, and the subsequent resolution in the form of a pleasant surprise.

Therefore, the correct answer is ADCB.
