- 2,3,4,1
- 4,2,1,3
- 2,4,1,3
- 2,4,3,1
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D - 2,4,3,1
The order is 2, 4, 3, 1. Sentence 2 gives the general claim, sentence 4 introduces the children in the programme, and sentence 3 describes what those children were motivated to do. Sentence 1 draws the broader conclusion from their actions, so the order 2, 4, 1, 3 draws that conclusion before describing the actions.
