Ravi is a character in the short story "Games at Twilight", by Anita Desai. He and his siblings are playing hide-and-seek when he decides to hide in the shed where old furniture and broken things are kept. Ravi is excited about the idea of winning the game. He is motivated by picturing himself as a champion who got to win over older, smarter kids. After hiding for hours, he comes out and runs to the "den" to become the desperate winner of a game that had been long over. His siblings had forgotten about him.
Upon this awful realization, Ravi feels completely isolated. He is obviously a young child who is still insecure about his place in the world. That's why he is so desperate to win - to prove something to himself and others. But the fact that he was forgotten is utterly disappointing and hurtful. He does not feel included; he does not want to be included anymore:
<em>And the arc of thin arms trembled in the twilight, and the heads were bowed so sadly, and their feet tramped to that melancholy refrain so mournfully, so helplessly, that </em><u><em>Ravi could not bear it. He would not follow them, he would not be included in this funereal game. He had wanted victory and triumph—not a funeral. But he had been forgotten, left out, and he would not join them now. The ignominy of being forgotten—how could he face it? He felt his heart go heavy and ache inside him unbearably. He lay down full length on the damp grass, crushing his face into it, no longer crying, silenced by a terrible sense of his insignificance.</em></u>

Explanation:
In writing, visualizing a sequence of events means the author of the text uses descriptions and linking words that indicate the time to explains two or more events that are related. This allows writers to connect events during time and develop a story appropriately.
All the options presented are examples of this because in these authors explain events during time using descriptions and words that indicate time, for example in "Early in the morning, shortly after dawn, while was still dreaming, would disappear" the author uses the words "early" and "shortly after" to relate the experiences of a character in different moments of the day. This also occurs in "He went to bed before dusk and sleep" and "Then he began to hear sounds. Peculiar sounds" because the words "then" and "before" shows the relationship between two events during time.
