    A i-phrase Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B i-ii-phrase Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C i-ii-ii-phrase Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D phrase-ii Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E iii-i-phrase Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The main phrase talks about 'spring', and ends with the noun 'fireflies' and thus must be followed by a phrase that starts with a verb to go in context with that noun. The only such phrase is ii) which starts with the verb 'illuminate'. Phrases i) (which talks about the speaker visiting the 'beach') and iii) (which talks about a person stuck in traffic) cannot be joined with the main sentence as they talk about something totally different. Hence, the order must be: phrase-ii Therefore, the correct answer is option d). The complete sentence is: Every spring, the twinkling lights from thousands of fireflies illuminate the forests of the village.
