There are some transition words that can help you, simultaneously, hence, besides etc
Look out for
- Relative pronouns (who,whom, whose, which, that)

- Now, what can be the opening sentence?
From all the sentences
First sentence can’t be the opening sentence as it has a Linking word “HENCE”
Second sentence can’t be the opening sentence as it has THE. “THE” as an article, here is used to refer to something.
Third sentence also has a transition word “DURING”
Fifth sentence has a transition word “BUT”
Sixth sentence is not giving the sense of an opening sentence.
Therefore, D is the most apt opening sentence.
What can be the closing sentence?
By just scanning all the sentences, the sentences which are giving the feel of closing sentences are F and A.
Don’t get confused, we will get our last sentence with the help of elimination.

- D is linked to F as there is a link. A question is asked and answer is given.
Here A gets eliminated so the probable last sentence is going to be F
F is linked to B as it is giving the explanation to the answer.
As we said look out for transition words But and Hence
To get the theme right, C is linked to E with the help of “But” and then E is linked to A with the help of “Hence”.
ANSWER : D F B C E A
F is linked to B as it is giving the explanation to the answer.
As we said look out for transition words But and Hence
To get the theme right, C is linked to E with the help of “But” and then E is linked to A with the help of “Hence”.
