  • Hi There,

    According to me D B A C seems to be correct answer because D introduces a person and his career then B talks about his first play next A describes the actual situation of shows which were all running simultaneously last C sentence tells about his improvement and success.

    Please correct me if my answer is incorrect.

    Regards,
    Baba
