A. And taking this village lad into their midst was terribly upsetting.

B. She was by no means pleased with this unnecessary addition to her family.

C. When he reached Calcutta, Phatik met his aunt for the first time.

D. She found her own three boys quite enough to manage without taking in anyone else.

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2018 (Tier 2) Statistics Previous Year Paper (22-feb-2018)
The correct answer is

CBDA

Sentence C introduces Phatik and his first meeting with the aunt — the natural opener. B follows with the aunt's reaction ("by no means pleased"). D explains why she is displeased (her own three boys are already enough). A concludes with the broader household reaction ("taking this village lad into their midst"), the connector "And" tying it to D. Hence the order is CBDA.
