Detailed Solution

The sentences tell a story. The story has to be in the right order. Try to rearrange it in the order that makes the most sense.
The first sentence indicates that the passage will revolve around Valentina Tereshkova. She was born in Yaroslavl, according to the record.
There is one more sentence that mentions Yaroslavl, and it is the only one. So, sentence D should come next.
Then we return to the main point. It should begin by introducing us to Valentina. Sentence B is the only relevant information that does not require additional support. Sentence B describes Valentina's activities at the age of 18 and the work she began doing.
The following sentence should tell us what she did next. Sentence A, which tells us she applied to be a cosmonaut, is the only one that fits.
The following sentence should serve as a lead-in to the final sentence. Sentence C is ideal because it provides information about the Soviet space programme.
