Answer
Exam answer
(b) 4, 2, 3, 1.
Explanation
Fix the two ends first. The story begins with the narrator’s wish to be photographed (4) and ends with the photographer delighted by the shot he snatches (1). The middle follows cause and effect: the criticism of his face comes first (2), and his protest is the reaction to it (3). Every wrong option puts an effect before its cause.
