Option (3) CEF C → Vitamins prevent deficiency diseases. E → Regular consumption of vitamins is essential. F → Vitamins are important ingredients of a balanced diet. Though a new concept 'balanced diet' has been introduced in sentence F but logically it is related to first two sentences by virtue of keyword vitamin existing in all three sentences. On the other hand, for option (4) FBD F → Vitamins are important ingredients of balanced diet. B → However, a balanced diet does not consist of vitamins only. D → Proteins too are ingredients in a balanced diet.

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.

Thus, the final given sentence will close with the information that condition of a further 1000 is considered unsafe.
