Solution
Option 1 -> Creates a fragmented sequence starting with "in the sky the travellers hastened to find that was bound to disrupt" - grammatically incorrect and illogical flow.
Option 2 -> Forms: "As the storm clouds gathered ominously in the sky the travellers hastened to find shelter, fearing a sudden downpour that was bound to disrupt their journey" - natural narrative flow with proper subordination.
Option 3 -> Begins with "that was bound to disrupt their journey" which is a relative clause lacking an antecedent - incomplete and confusing structure.
Option 4 -> Starts with "shelter, fearing a sudden downpour" without establishing context or subject - creates a disjointed, unclear meaning.
Hence, Option 2: (D), (A), (C), (B) -> This sequence creates a coherent sentence where the dependent clause (D) sets the atmospheric scene, (A) connects the location and introduces the main action, (C) completes the action with motivation, and (B) provides additional context about the feared consequence -> correct
