The following paragraphs are from a compare-and-contrast essay. they've been placed in an incorrect order. which is the correct order?

i. what i used to think about seattle seems absurd now that i have lived a whole year in this breathtaking place. the rain seems a trivial thing and the city a charming place to live and work. my perspective has definitely changed - for the better.

ii. before coming to seattle, i had a few misconceptions of the city. first of all, i thought that rain was the only weather seattleites ever "enjoyed." i also believed that seattle revolved around tourist traps like the space needle. now i realize that houston, texas, actually receives more rain than seattle, and even in the misty rain, seattle is beautiful. it is not a touristy city at all, but a series of quiet neighborhoods surrounded by gorgeous mountains and lakes. my opinions are obviously more well informed now, and much more positive.

iii. rain, rain, rain! that's all there ever is in seattle. at least that's what i thought before moving here. but after having lived here for a year, my perspective of seattle is much more optimistic.
a. i, iii, ii
b. ii, iii, i
c. i, ii, iii
d. iii, ii, i
