(D) hottest on record in the US,

The following question gives a sentence which has been divided into four parts which may not be in their correct order of narrative. The sentence is then followed by five options, one of which gives the sequence of the rearranged parts to make the sentence meaningful. Choose the option which gives the correct sequence of the parts. If the sentence is already arranged in the correct sequence, mark option " No rearrangement required " as the answer.

The correct answer is ADBC.

To arrange the given sentence fragments into a coherent and grammatically correct sentence, let us analyze each part step-by-step:

(A) "March 2026 was the"
(D) "hottest on record in the US,"
(B) "with an El Niño likely to push"
(C) "temperatures even higher"

Step 1: Identify the opening segment.
Part (A) introduces the main subject and verb: "March 2026 was the". This naturally requires a superlative adjective to complete the clause.

Step 2: Connect Part A to Part D.
Part (D) provides the superlative phrase "hottest on record in the US," which seamlessly completes Part (A): "March 2026 was the hottest on record in the US," forming a complete main clause.

Step 3: Connect the modifying clause (Part B and Part C).
Part (B) begins with "with an El Niño likely to push", describing a contributing cause/condition. This is logically followed by Part (C) "temperatures even higher", which completes the infinitive phrase "to push temperatures even higher".

Step 4: Verify the full sequence.
Combining the parts in the sequence A → D → B → C gives:
"March 2026 was the hottest on record in the US, with an El Niño likely to push temperatures even higher."

This forms a meaningful, grammatically sound sentence. Therefore, the correct order of the parts is ADBC.
