Solution :

To arrange the sentences into a meaningful and coherent paragraph, let us analyze the logical flow and connections between the sentences:

1. Sentence B serves as the ideal introductory sentence. It introduces the main subject of the paragraph, "Colonel Harland Sanders," and establishes the central theme of his life story—being disappointed numerous times but eventually making his ambition come true. This sets the stage for the details of his life that follow.

2. Sentence D logically follows sentence B. It begins with "He," referring back to Colonel Harland Sanders, and provides background information about his early struggles: "He is a seventh-grade dropout who tried many things in life but found them bitter." This details the early disappointments mentioned in the introduction.

3. Sentence C continues chronologically, moving forward in his life to when "He began selling chicken at the age of 40." It further describes the setbacks he faced, noting that "his dream of opening a restaurant was repeatedly denied owing to conflicts and wars."

4. Sentence A provides the final step in the sequence. After attempting to open a restaurant (mentioned in C), "He later tried to franchise his restaurant." The word "later" indicates a subsequent event in the timeline, making A the perfect concluding sentence.

Combining these steps, the correct logical order of the sentences is B-D-C-A.

Therefore, the correct option is BDCA.
