B)indicate order
C)show consequence
D)indicate repetition of an idea
E)show space relationship

I need help with this one!!

Answer 1

b

first, then ... shows progression or steps

Answer 2

Hmmm, might it not also be possible to say that it shows consequence? It's not, after all, "first" and "second." And the fact that the ball flew over the fence is a direct consequence of its having been hit.
