The sentence is a question with a smaller question inside it. The outer part keeps question order: "Do you know...". The inner part is an embedded question, so it goes back to normal statement order, "what she does" and not "what does she". The time phrase "in the evenings" sits at the end, where English usually puts time. A is tempting because it starts with the question word, but you cannot move the embedded question to the front and still leave "do you know" as the main question.

The natural order here is subject, verb, time, then the reason: "We get up at six o'clock to drink tea." The to-infinitive at the end tells you why they get up. D carries the same meaning, and that is what makes it tempting, but it is printed with "sis" instead of "six", so as it stands it is not correct English. C swaps the verbs and produces "we drink up tea to get at six o'clock", which means nothing.

"Want" is followed by a to-infinitive, so the verb group is "want to sail". The place phrase "around the world" then follows the verb it belongs to. That gives the plain order: "I want to sail around the world." D is grammatical too, but fronting "around the world" is a marked, poetic order, and this section asks for the ordinary correct sentence rather than a stylistic one.

A paragraph like this moves from the whole thing to its parts. Sentence b names the house, a says it has one room, c divides that room, d names the three sections, and e goes inside one of them, so the order is b a c d e. The printed option C is damaged in this capture, but it is the alternative meant to carry that order. A is tempting because it also ends with the small detail, but it opens with e, and a paragraph cannot start inside the bedroom before we have been told there is a house.

Follow the time words. Sentence b announces the topic (the same ritual every day), d gives the reason there is a lot to do, a names "the first thing", e starts "When I finish working out", and c starts "After that", so the order is b d a e c. B is tempting because it also begins with the school context, but it puts e before a, which would have her finishing a workout she has not started.

The paragraph builds an idea before it uses it. Sentence b reports what other people say about shoes, e gives the writer's own version about cars, d explains what a clean car says about him, a tells us washing his car is a favourite thing, and c promises the process, which is what a following paragraph would give. That is b e d a c. D is tempting because a sounds like an opening line, but starting there leaves b and e stranded with nothing to lead into.
