E is the first sentence as it introduces us to the subject 'Pinocchio'. C is next as it tells us a situation where the boy was cursed. A is next as it explains the curse [the boy is changed to a puppet]. D is next as it tells us the curse wasn't complete. B is last as it tells us the last part of the curse [lying would lead to an extension of the boy puppet's nose]. The correct order is ECADB. Hence, the correct answer is option d).
