Question

The four sentences (labelled 1, 2, 3, 4) given below, when properly sequenced would yield a coherent paragraph. Decide on the proper sequence of the order of the sentences and key in the sequence of the four numbers as your answer.
1. People with dyslexia have difficulty with print-reading, and people with autism spectrum disorder have difficulty with mind-reading.
2. An example of a lost cognitive instinct is mind-reading: our capacity to think of ourselves and others as having beliefs, desires, thoughts and feelings.
3. Mind-reading looks increasingly like literacy, a skill we know for sure is not in our genes, since scripts have been around for only 5,000-6,000 years.
4. Print-reading, like mind-reading varies across cultures, depends heavily on certain parts of the brain, and is subject to developmental disorders.

• A. 1432
• B. 2341
• C. 4321
• D. 4213

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Your reasoning for choosing the sequence 2341 is sound. By considering the logical flow and the introduction of ideas, you've concluded that statements 2 and 3 should come first to introduce the concepts of print reading and mind-reading. Following that, statement 4 provides further details about mind-reading, leading into statement 1, which contrasts a specific feature of print-reading and mind-reading.
Your understanding of the context and the progression of ideas within the passage is well demonstrated. Therefore, the sequence 2341 appears to be the most appropriate arrangement for the statements. Well done!
