Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

D) 4, 1, 2, 3

Sentence 4 is first because it introduces the idea of adopting a puppy and sets up the reader to hear what responsibilities a puppy brings with it. Sentence 1 is next because it further develops this main idea. It does not come first because the phrase "the cute little bundle of fur" is not specific. It refers to the puppy introduced in the fourth sentence. Next, is sentence 2 which opens with "One of the". This tells us that this sentence contains a reason why a puppy is a hefty responsibility. Sentence 3 is last in this group because it says "another surprise". The use of the word "another" tells us there has already been a first surprise.
