Answer 2

Answer:

4, 1, 3, 2.

Explanation:

Sentence 4: I cannot wait to cook dinner for my family tonight.

Sentence 1: I hope the dinner comes out perfectly, but even if it doesn’t, I’m pretty sure they’ll know how hard I tried.

Sentence 3: I am making my sister’s favorite: roasted chicken, brown rice, and brussels sprouts.

Sentence 2: Then we’ll have coffee cake for dessert, which I made from scratch.

Based on the flow of the narration, the speaker is still not done with the cooking, She hasn't even started yet. So, the first sentence to come will be her excitement about the dinner plan. Then comes the narration about her hopes, followed by the things she'll make for dinner. Last is the narration about the dessert. Thus, the sentence sequence will be 4, 1, 3, 2.
