Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's organize the sentences chronologically according to the mask-making process described:
Sentence D introduces the activity and the raw materials ("In order to make a face mask, take 2 rectangular pieces..."), so it must be the opening sentence.
Sentence A describes the immediate next step involving these pieces ("Sew the two rectangular pieces together...").
Sentence C uses the transition word "Now" and refers back to the previously sewn product ("make three evenly spaced pleats in the sewn rectangles").
Sentence B starts with "Finally", signaling the concluding step of the process.
Therefore, the correct chronological and logical sequence is D-A-C-B.
