    Solution

    After reading all the sentences, we can say that the passage is about Mary. Sentence C comes first as it introduces the subject Mary, and in the rest of the sentences, the pronouns 'she' and 'her' were used to refer to Mary. Sentence C states that Mary was upset. Sentence A follows and states that Mary's mother found her crying as she was upset. E follows A as it states that Mary's mother asked about her reason for crying. B follows E as it talks about Mary's reply to the question asked by her mother. Sentence D follows and talks about the suggestion by her mother regarding her problems. Therefore, the correct order is CAEBD. Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.
