  • 2. Thus, experts foresee that this will damage the environment as well as the economy.

  • 3. Others claim that this may make money laundering easy and also use up a lot of electricity.

  1. 4,1,3,2
  2. 1,3,4,2
  3. 1,4,2,3
  4. 1,4,3,2

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: D - 1,4,3,2

The order is 1, 4, 3, 2. The approval of Bitcoin is the move that the economists criticise, and “Others” adds concerns about laundering and electricity. The conclusion links those risks to the economy and environment, so 1, 4, 2, 3 draws that conclusion before giving the electricity concern.
