Read the following excerpt from William Shakespeare's Sonnet 147 and fill in the blanks in the paragraph.My love is as a fever, longing still
For that which longer nurseth the disease,
Feeding on that which doth preserve the ill,
Th’uncertain sickly appetite to please.
My reason, the physician to my love,
Angry that his prescriptions are not kept,
Hath left me, and I, desperate, now approve
Desire is death, which physic did except.

The speaker compares his love to a disease that is an (epidemic) (uncontrolled) (difficult to detect) (carefully treated) . He goes on to say that even though love is destroying his (sanity) (well-being) (health) (wealth) , he continues to (love) (fantasize) (hallucinate) (waste away) . He uses (simile) (metaphor) (personification) (hyperbole) to portray reason, who, he says is angry at the speaker for not adopting its prescriptions. Thus reason has left him, and the poet agrees that the desire for love is equal to (death) (madness) (illness) (disease) .

Every sentence starts with the first, second, third, order, that is why letter a. is the answer because not only does it create an effective paragraph but it also completes the chronological order.
