 Key Points

• Sentence B ("the novel is as patterned as a Post-Impressionist painting") serves as a good starting point, as it gives a general statement about the novel.
• After making a claim about the novel's structure, Sentence D comes next because it provides a contrasting point to Sentence B. It maintains the topic of the novel's nature, but introduces a different angle, the accurate representation in the novel, which builds onto the original statement.
• Sentence C logically follows sentence D. This is because sentence D ends with "that the reader", which needs to be followed by an action that the reader can perform. Sentence C provides this action.
• Sentence A  fits last because it provides specific information about where and when the reader can trace the characters' movements, nicely concluding the description started in sentence C.
