On reading the given sentences, we can infer that the paragraph is about how everyone started running after hearing the pistol sound.
2 must be the opening sentence since it talks about the quarrel that happened before hearing the sound of the horses and the pistol sound.
5 must follow 2 since it starts that 'Almost at the same time' (the time at which they heard the horses).
3 should follow 5 since it states that the pistol sound was the last sign of danger and they started running in all directions deserting Pew.
4 should follow 3 since the pronoun 'him' in the sentence refers to Pew.
1 must be the concluding sentence since it describes how Pew too started running shortly.
The correct order is 25341. Therefore, option C is the right answer.
