Question:

Each of the questions below consists of a set of labelled sentences. These sentences, when properly sequenced, form a coherent paragraph. Choose the most logical order of sentences from the options.

Events intervened, and in the late 1930s and 1940s, Germany suffered from "over-branding".
The British used to be fascinated by the home of Romanticism.
But reunification and the federal government's move to Berlin have prompted Germany to think again about its image.
The first foreign package holiday was a tour of Germany organized by Thomas Cook in 1855.
Since then, Germany has been understandably nervous about promoting itself abroad.

Explanation:

‘The home of Romanticism’ (sentence B) refers to Germany.
Sentence D speaks about the first foreign package holiday tour to Germany and hence begins the chain of idea in the paragraph.
Sentence B continues it, by giving the reason (Germany being the home of romanticism) for the fascination towards Germany. Thus, DB is a pair.
Sentence A introduces the idea of Germany’s image problem. ‘Since’ in E refers to the timeline mentioned in A (1930s and 1940s). Therefore, AE is a pair.
Sentence C ends the passage by mentioning how Germany has started thinking about its image, again.

Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
