* The first in the sequence should be the one that introduces us to the theme of the passage. Here, the passage is about unexpected encounter between Mrs. Salmon and Adams. Thus, A will be the first sequence.
* D will be the next in the sequence as it mentions the sound of a door click shut and false perception by Mrs. Salmon about its origin i.e. it is coming from her door.
* C will be the next as it mentions what Mrs. Salmon saw when she went towards her window to ascertain what caused that sound of a door click shut (mentioned in previous sentence D).
* B will be the final sentence of the sequence as it concludes by describing what Adams (introduced in Sentence C) was carrying and doing in front of Mrs. Parker's house.
Thus, the correct sequence is ADCB.
After arranging the sentences, the passage will be: - Mrs. Salmon who lived in 15, Northwood Street had been unable to sleep. She heard a door click shut and thought it was her own gate. But when she went to the window she saw Adams standing on the steps of Mrs. Parker's house. He had a hammer in his hand and had just come out of her house.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.
