Did you get this right?

Solution

(A) "I know I'm already in my 40s, but I never imagined that I would need glasses." → (III) already/never ✓

(B) "I just kept trying to read the newspaper by holding it further away." → (I) just/further ✓

(C) "I really had to decide whether to get longer arms or a pair of reading glasses." → (IV) longer/reading ✓

(D) "I chose the easier solution." → (II) eventually/easier (uses "easier") ✓

Hence, Option 1: (A) - (III), (B) - (I), (C) - (IV), (D) - (II) → This creates a coherent narrative about someone in their 40s experiencing age-related vision changes, humorously describing their struggle with reading newspapers and the eventual decision to get reading glasses instead of "longer arms" → correct
