To determine the correct order of events, we need to analyze the sequence logically:
- Steve is arrested for murder. - This is a pivotal event and likely happens after the murder itself occurred.
- Steve joins Mr. Sawicki’s film club. - This seems to be before the murder and arrest, as joining a film club is not directly related to his legal troubles.
- A robbery and murder are committed at the drug store. - This event must happen before Steve's arrest for murder, as he is arrested for being involved in a murder.
- Mr. Sawicki testifies at Steve’s trial. - This would happen after Steve has been arrested and put on trial related to the murder.
Putting it all together, the logical order is:
- First, the robbery and murder are committed at the drug store (3).
- Then, Steve joins the film club (2) — this could happen before or after his eventual arrest, but joining a club typically happens before any legal issues arise.
- Next, Steve is arrested for murder (1).
- Finally, Mr. Sawicki testifies at Steve’s trial (4).
So the correct order of events is 3, 2, 1, 4, which isn't listed in the options given. However, given the context, it's clear the order proceeds from the robbery and murder to Steve's arrest and finally to Mr. Sawicki's testimony.
None of the provided options exactly fit, but the closest representation of a timeline starting from the murder would suggest option 2, 3, 1, 4 as it incorporates the basic elements properly if interpreted broadly. It features Steve's involvement and subsequent legal issues.
