Key Points

The paragraph is about a woman visiting an antique shop and being shown an expensive enamel box by the shopkeeper.
- Thus, the introducing sentence will be sentence D. It will be followed by the sentence B.
Further, the shopman is eager to sell the box as he would make a big profit.
- Thus, sentence A will follow sentence B.
The woman cannot afford the box but asks the shopkeeper to keep it for her.
- Therefore, sentence C will come at the end of the passage.
The paragraph is arranged in chronological order, starting with the woman entering the shop and ending with her asking the shopkeeper to keep the box.

Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
