Explanation:

Jordan is not correct in her revision because sentence 3 states that it is believed that the festival was created to celebrate the homecoming of Lord Rama and in sentence 4 it explains this by stating that people placed lanterns outside of their houses to light Lord Rama's way home. So, this is the proper way to organize the sentences so the idea could be understood. According to that, the answer is: no, the revision disrupts the logical order of the report.
