Question

The four sentences (labelled 1, 2, 3, 4) below, when properly sequenced would yield a coherent paragraph. Decide on the proper sequencing of the order of the sentences and key in the sequence of the four numbers as your answer:
1. It also has four movable auxiliary telescopes 1.8 m in diameter.
2. Completed in 2006, the Very Large Telescope (VLT) has four reflecting telescopes,8.2 m in diameter that can observe objects 4 billion times weaker than can normally be seen with the naked eye.
3. This configuration enables one to distinguish an astronaut on the Moon.
4. When these are combined with the large telescopes, they produce what is called interferometry: a simulation of the power of a mirror 16 m in diameter and the resolution of a telescope of 200 m.

• A. 1243
• B. 1432
• C. 2143
• D. 2431

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

(2) Completed in 2006, the Very Large Telescope (VLT) has four reflecting telescopes,8.2 m in diameter that can observe objects 4 billion times weaker than can normally be seen with the naked eye.
(1) It also has four movable auxiliary telescopes 1.8 m in diameter.
(4)When these are combined with the large telescopes, they produce what is called interferometry: a simulation of the power of a mirror 16 m in diameter and the resolution of a telescope of 200 m.
(3) This configuration enables one to distinguish an astronaut on the Moon.

So, the correct answer is (C): 2143

Answer 2

Sentence 2 initiates the discussion on VLT, while Option 4 delves deeper into the topic by focusing on telescopes. Sentence 4 & Sentence 3 naturally forms a cohesive unit as one presents the purpose and the other discusses their utilization.

Therefore, the correct sequence is option (C): 2143
