Concept:Narrative flow relies on a logical sequence: action, then sensory description, then heightened tension, then emotional resolution.
Rule / Clue:Sentence A states the cause (hunger) that leads to entering the house. Sentence B uses “Inside” to directly continue after entry. Sentence C adds a new sensory detail (sound) to build atmosphere. Sentence D begins with “But” to contrast the fear and resolve the paragraph.
Explanation:The paragraph starts with the protagonist’s motive: hunger drives him into the house (A). Immediately after, he is inside, so the next sentence must describe what he sees (B). The creaking sound (C) follows naturally as he moves deeper. Finally, “But hunger muffled fear” (D) explains why he stays despite the fear, providing a satisfying end. Options like BACD start with “Inside” before the entry, which breaks logic. ACBD places the resolution before the sound, and ADBC interrupts the inside description. Only ABCD follows the cause→setting→sensory detail→conclusion order.
Answer:Option A (ABCD)
