Question:

The five sentences (labelled 1,2,3,4, and 5) given in this question, when properly sequenced, form a coherent paragraph. Decide on the proper order for the sentence and key in this sequence of five numbers as your answer.
1. This visual turn in social media has merely accentuated this announcing instinct of ours, enabling us with easy-to-create, easy-to-share, easy-to-store and easy-to-consume platforms, gadgets and apps.
2. There is absolutely nothing new about us framing the vision of who we are or what we want, visually or otherwise, in our Facebook page, for example. 
3. Turning the pages of most family albums, which belong to a period well before the digital dissemination of self-created and self-curated moments and images, would reconfirm the basic instinct of documenting our presence in a particular space, on a significant occasion, with others who matter.
4. We are empowered to book our faces and act as celebrities within the confinement of our respective friend lists, and communicate our activities, companionship and locations with minimal clicks and touches. 
5. What is unprecedented is not the desire to put out news feeds related to the self, but the ease with which this broadcast operation can now be executed, often provoking (un)anticipated responses from beyond one's immediate location.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Beginning with statement 3, the paragraph highlights the act of flipping through family albums from the pre-digital era, emphasizing the innate tendency to capture meaningful moments with significant individuals. Following this, statement 2 asserts that framing our identity, visually or otherwise, on social media platforms like Facebook is not a new phenomenon. Statement 1 introduces the concept of "this visual turn," linking it to the act of framing one's vision on a Facebook page. Consequently, statement 1 follows 2, emphasizing how this shift has amplified our inclination to share. Moving forward, statement 4 extends the discussion by indicating that presenting one's vision on social media allows individuals to assume a celebrity-like role within their respective friend lists. Finally, statement 5 concludes the paragraph by addressing the ease with which the broadcast operation can occur and the ensuing (un)expected reactions from beyond one's immediate surroundings. Therefore, the appropriate sequence is (32145).
