The given sentences, when properly sequenced, form a coherent paragraph about New Year celebrations, Christmas, and global suffering. Sentence 1 is fixed as the opening. Choose the most logical order of the remaining sentences A, B, C, and D.

Introduction / Context:
This is a parajumble question based on a thought piece that links New Year celebrations, Christmas, homelessness, war, and the idea of foreign festivals. You are told that sentence 1 is fixed as the opening, and you must find the best sequence of the four labelled sentences A, B, C, and D that follows logically.

Given Data / Assumptions:
Sentence 1 states that the new year 2018 has arrived and comments that nothing really seems to have changed despite firecrackers. Sentence D mentions New Year Eve coming close on the heels of Christmas and describes Christmas as commemorating the birth of a homeless child to poor refugees in a foreign place. Sentence C then refers back to this Christmas with the phrase That too, and highlights that it was celebrated despite a world where homeless people, children, refugees, and foreignness are often abused. Sentence A adds another layer by discussing regions where firecrackers are replaced by bombs and people struggle even for food or shelter. Sentence B introduces a group of fellow nationals who might accuse the writer of celebrating foreign festivals.

Concept / Approach:
Good paragraphs follow clear chains of reference. Pronouns like That too must refer back to a clearly identified event, and phrases like foreign festivals must connect to earlier mentions of foreign places and refugees. We also look for smooth thematic movement from personal observation to wider global reality and finally to national criticism.

Step-by-Step Solution:
First, attach sentence D directly after sentence 1. Sentence 1 talks about the new year and firecrackers, and D continues the New Year theme by placing New Year Eve close to Christmas, which fits naturally after the mention of celebrations.Second, note that sentence C begins with That too, which must refer to Christmas introduced in D. So C logically follows D and reflects on how Christmas was celebrated in a world that mistreats the homeless and refugees.Third, sentence A then broadens the idea of suffering by comparing firecrackers with bombs in many parts of the world and stressing that millions do not even have the luxury of fireworks because they are simply trying to survive. This continues the global social justice theme introduced in C.Fourth, sentence B finally brings the focus back to the writer’s own country, mentioning fellow nationals who might accuse the writer of celebrating foreign festivals. This ties back to the mention of a homeless child in a foreign place in sentence D and neatly connects foreign festivals with that idea.Thus the logical order after sentence 1 is D, then C, then A, then B, which is represented by choice DCAB.

Verification / Alternative check:
Check whether any other option can maintain correct references. If we start with A after 1, the phrase That too in C would have no clear reference. If we place B too early, the accusation of foreign festivals would appear before the paragraph has established the link between Christmas, homelessness, and foreignness. Only DCAB ensures that each pronoun and phrase points to a clear previous idea.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Option BDCA begins with B, which introduces criticism of foreign festivals without first mentioning Christmas as a foreign festival associated with homelessness. Option ADCB places A before D, so when D mentions that New Year Eve came close on the heels of Christmas, this link feels abrupt and less natural. Option ADCB also misplaces C, making That too dangle. Option CDAB starts with C, where That too has no antecedent and confuses the reader from the start. Therefore, these orders break the logical flow of the paragraph.

Common Pitfalls:
Many candidates focus only on broad topic similarity and ignore fine details such as pronoun reference and the phrases this, that, or such. In parajumble questions, these small connectors are often key clues for ordering sentences. Another pitfall is to be swayed by strong opinions inside the text, such as the accusation about foreign festivals, and try to place them first even when the narrative has not yet built up to that point. Always trace references carefully to build a coherent chain.

Final Answer:
The most logical sequence after sentence 1 is D, C, A, B, so the correct answer is DCAB.
