And everywhere—on the palace steps, and the great promenade, around the fountains, among the trees—hundreds and hundreds of people in gay costumes walked or ran or danced, and gave to the fairy picture the life and animation which was all of perfection it could have lacked. Concluding remark; the people complete the picture perfect settings

B. The scene thrills one like military music!

C. Versailles is wonderfully beautiful!

D. You gaze and stare and try to understand that it is real, that it is on the earth, that it is not the Garden of Eden—but your brain grows giddy, stupefied by the world of beauty around you, and you half believe you are the dupe of an exquisite dream.

E. A noble palace, stretching its ornamented front, block upon block away, till it seemed that it would never end; a grand promenade before it, where on the armies of an empire might parade; broad flights of stone steps leading down from the promenade to lower grounds of the park—stairways that whole regiments might stand to arms upon and have room to spar.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The paragraph describes an extraordinarily beautiful place, so the sentence that introduces this idea should come first. Sentence C, "Versailles is wonderfully beautiful!", serves as the opening statement.

2. Sentence D follows as it elaborates on the beauty described in C, comparing the scene to the Garden of Eden and expressing the overwhelming effect on the observer.

3. Sentence B then describes the excitement of the scene, likening it to the thrill of military music.

4. Sentence E continues the military metaphor by describing the palace and promenade as places where armies might parade, reinforcing the grandeur.

5. Finally, sentence A concludes by describing the lively presence of people in colorful costumes, adding life and animation to the perfect setting.

Thus, the correct sequence is **C D B E A**.
