BCAD
BDAE
No improvement needed
None of the above

Answer 1

Part C doesn’t contribute to the main theme of the sentence and thus can be safely discarded.

Part D consists of the subject ‘he’, but it is surely not the beginning of the sentence. Then the sentence would begin with a gerund phrase, and part B fits in the scheme. From there, through a bit of reasoning, one can easily conclude that the correct order is BDAE.
