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 of the sentences?


  1. When we take time to notice these moments, we discover hidden beauty that sparks our creative thoughts because creativity isn’t just about rare, amazing events—it’s also about finding the special in the ordinary.

  2. Creativity is often seen as the ability to look at the world in a new way—to turn everyday sights, sounds, and experiences into art or ideas.

  3. In fact, inspiration can come from small details of daily life: the gentle warmth of morning sunlight on a kitchen counter, the steady sound of traffic outside, or the brief smile of a stranger on a busy street.

  4. Many people wrongly think that true creativity only comes from big ideas or exciting adventures.

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

Answer and explanation

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

The most coherent order is 2,4,3,12,4,3,1. Sentence 2 defines creativity, sentence 4 introduces the misconception, and sentence 3 counters it with ordinary instances of inspiration. Sentence 1 draws the conclusion from those instances. In 2,4,1,32,4,1,3, “these moments” appears before the relevant examples.
