Solution
Option 1 -> (C), (A), (B), (D) -> Illogical because (A) talks about thickening which comes after simmering mentioned in (B), and (D) should come right after (C).
Option 2 -> (C), (D), (A), (B) -> Incorrect because (A) mentions "until the curry thickens" which should come after simmering in (B), not before.
Option 3 -> (D), (A), (B), (C) -> Wrong starting point as (D) says "followed by" indicating it cannot be the first step, and (C) clearly states "preparation begins."
Option 4 -> (C), (D), (B), (A) -> Follows the natural cooking sequence: prep ingredients → sauté vegetables → simmer with coconut milk → cook until thickened.
Hence, Option 4: (C), (D), (B), (A) -> This follows the logical progression of curry preparation: starting with ingredient prep (C), then sautéing the vegetables (D), followed by simmering with coconut milk and herbs (B), and finally continuing until the desired consistency is achieved (A). The transitional phrases "followed by" and "after which" and "until" connect these steps naturally. -> correct
