In this question, the first and the last part of the passage are numbered ${\mathrm{S}}_1$ and ${\mathrm{S}}_2$_. The rest of the passage is split into four parts numbered $\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B}, \mathrm{C}$ and  $\mathrm{D}$. These four parts are not given in their proper order. Read the sentences and find out which of the four sequences is correct.
${\mathrm{S}}_1$: When the wind moves gently, it is called a breeze.
$\mathrm{A}$ : This cooler air begins to flow towards the land to occupy the space created near the land.
$\mathrm{B}$ : As compared to the land, sea-water takes longer to heat up. Therefore, the air adjacent to it is cooler.
$\mathrm{C}$ : The air adjacent to the land becomes warm. Warm air rises up.
$\mathrm{D}$ : During the day, due to the heat of the sun, land heats up quickly.
${\mathrm{S}}_2$: The wind that blows from the ocean towards the land is known as the sea breeze.
