(C) However, after becoming rich, the monkey grew arrogant and forgot his humble beginnings.

(B) In his pride, he even began to ignore the very king who had once helped him.

To determine which sentence comes last after rearrangement, let us analyze the logical flow and chronological sequence of the events described in the sentences:

1. Introduction of characters: Sentence (F) introduces the two main characters: "A poor monkey once happened to meet a kind and generous king." This is the natural starting point of the story.

2. Elaboration of the starting state: Sentence (D) provides detail about the monkey's initial situation introduced in (F): "The monkey was living in misery and had nothing to eat or wear." Therefore, (D) follows (F).

3. Action taken by the king: Sentence (E) describes the king's reaction to the monkey's misery: "Seeing his condition, the king felt pity and gave all the necessary riches and comforts to him." Thus, (E) logically follows (D).

4. Result of the king's action: Sentence (A) shows the immediate result of the king's help: "Soon, the monkey’s life changed, and he became wealthy and prosperous." Hence, (A) follows (E).

5. Turning point/Shift in behavior: Sentence (C) introduces a contrast (indicated by "However") in the monkey's behavior after becoming wealthy: "However, after becoming rich, the monkey grew arrogant and forgot his humble beginnings." So, (C) follows (A).

6. Climax/Consequence of arrogance: Sentence (B) describes the ultimate extent of the monkey's arrogance: "In his pride, he even began to ignore the very king who had once helped him." This acts as the concluding point of the narrative, following (C).

The coherent paragraph order is F-D-E-A-C-B.

Therefore, the sentence that comes LAST in the rearrangement is (B).
