Explanation:

Let's arrange the statements logically:

- D. The practices of child rearing vary from culture to culture.

- This is a general opening statement about cultural differences in child-rearing.

- B. In rural communities, the customs are more uniform.

- Following the general statement, this specifies that rural areas tend to have more consistent customs.

- A. But, in developed societies, the childhood and adolescence is extended.

- This introduces a contrast with rural communities, highlighting differences in developed societies.

- C. This provides more opportunities for education and character development.

- This explains the result of extended childhood in developed societies.

Hence, the correct order to make a meaningful paragraph is DABC, which corresponds to option 4.

- Option 1 (DBAC) breaks the logical connection between the extension of childhood and its benefits.

- Option 2 (BADC) doesn't emphasize the cultural variation before specifying rural and developed societies.

- Option 3 (BCDA) disrupts the flow by starting with rural specifics without context.

The correct order, aligned with a clear logical sequence, is:

Option: 1- DBAC
