Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the story and the event sequence:

1. First, Marion and Gina need to get supplies for the party. The story starts with Marion at the store (to meet Gina, likely for supplies). So "Marion and Gina pick up supplies" is first.
2. Next, after getting supplies, they set up the party. So "Marion and Gina set up for the party" is second.
3. Then, once setup is done, guests arrive. So "The guests arrive" is third.
4. Finally, when the party is ready, Marion’s mom comes home to be surprised. So "Marion’s mom comes home" is last.

Answer:

1. Marion and Gina pick up supplies
2. Marion and Gina set up for the party
3. The guests arrive
4. Marion’s mom comes home
