The logical order for the events from the story is:
2, 3, 4, 1
This means:
- The sun was rising on a crisp March morning. (Event 2)
- People were lining the streets in anticipation of the parade beginning. (Event 3)
- Candy and toys were thrown into the crowd while children squealed with excitement. (Event 4)
- The last float disappeared from view, and a sense of joy settled over the town. (Event 1)
So the correct response is: 2, 3, 4, 1.
