Answer:
"Before Long, ordinary people were allowed to run their own businesses" develops the paragraph's sequence structure.
Explanation:
The phrase "before long" means not a long time ago, or simply in near past, in recent times. So the sentence"Before Long, ordinary people were allowed to run their own businesses" means that it was not long time ago, or it was just recently that people were allowed to start their own businesses.
A sequence structure tells the reader in the order in which the events or steps occur. e.g before, next, then, before long are some of the sequence text structure.
