Solution :

To find the sentence that comes last, let us analyze the logical flow and connect the sentences to form a coherent paragraph:

1. Sentence (F) serves as the introductory sentence of the narrative, establishing the characters: "A poor monkey once happened to meet a kind and generous king."
2. Sentence (D) directly follows by elaborating on the monkey's situation when he met the king: "The monkey was living in misery and had nothing to eat or wear."
3. 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."
4. Sentence (A) shows the immediate positive outcome of the king's generosity: "Soon, the monkey’s life changed, and he became wealthy and prosperous."
5. Sentence (C) introduces a contrast/turning point in the story using the transition word "However": "However, after becoming rich, the monkey grew arrogant and forgot his humble beginnings."
6. Sentence (B) concludes the paragraph by showing the ultimate outcome of the monkey's arrogance: "In his pride, he even began to ignore the very king who had once helped him."

Rearranging these sentences gives the sequence: F - D - E - A - C - B.

Therefore, the sentence that comes last after the rearrangement is B.
