Explanation

QSRP. The first sentence introduces us to Einstein and his fame. Thus the natural progression in the course of conversation will be the sentence where we are told about the time the Queen of Belgium invited him. Next would be the sentence that tells us about him getting off the train. The next one to follow will be where the officials were present to receive him and their reaction or expectation of his appearance. The last sentence is given to us where they go back and tell the queen that he had not come. Thus the fourth sentence has to be the one where they gained the impression which they finally conveyed to the queen.
