Question and options

The following sentences, when properly sequenced, form a coherent paragraph. Each sentence is labelled with a number. What is the most logical order?
  1. Farmers, however, especially during the peak farming season, ignore the warnings of the weather forecast.
  2. People from some states of India have demanded that families of those who have been killed by lightning strikes should receive compensation.
  3. The Minister for Disaster Management announced that over 2800 people have died after being struck by lightning last year.
  4. The Minister responded that pamphlets on the dangers of lightning and precautions to be taken are being distributed in villages.
  1. 3,2,4,1
  2. 3,4,2,1
  3. 3,1,2,4
  4. 3,2,1,4

Answer and explanation

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

The order is 3, 2, 4, 1. The death toll provides the context for the compensation demand, and the minister's response then introduces the distribution of safety advice. The farmers' response to warnings follows those precautions, while 3, 4, 2, 1 places the minister's response before the demand it answers.
