Key Points

  • The given sentence is an example of Sentence Jumble. 
  • We know that the first statement of a sentence jumbled question is usually an independent general statement, a noun, a universal fact, starting of an incident, or it starts with 'most' or 'once'. 
  • Part B will be the first sentence because it is the starting of an incident. 
  • Part D will be used next because Part B talks about 'tearing down' of the collage and Part D further tell what the author did to tear down that collage. 
  • Part C will be used next because it further explains what the author found when he entered that room. 
  • Lastly, Part A will be used to give a possible explanation the author thinks of the wall being bare

Thus the correct order of the sentences is: My hands had been itching to tear down that collage from my bedroom wall. So, I entered my room in a hurry. But I found the wall bare. Someone had been smart enough to remove it before I went on the rampage.
