    Solution

    D: The paragraph starts with the statement that "The year 2023 is likely to become the warmest on record, a new study has warned." This sets the context for the discussion about climate and temperature. B: Sentence B follows, explaining that this warming trend could be attributed to human-induced climate change and the influence of the ongoing El Nino. It provides a potential explanation for the warming trend mentioned in sentence D. C: Sentence C comes next, introducing the concept of El Nino as the warm phase of a naturally occurring climate pattern. It also mentions the declaration by the World Meteorological Organization about El Nino conditions in July 2023, which adds more context to the discussion. E: Sentence E builds upon the information in the previous sentences by expressing a general concern about whether the shift from La Nina to El Nino in the tropical Pacific will lead to a new record-breaking event in global surface temperatures. It connects the El Nino discussion to the broader context of global climate trends. A: Finally, sentence A concludes the paragraph by mentioning that researchers from China conducted a study on this topic, providing a source and context for the information presented in the paragraph.
