Question:

The four sentences (labelled 1,2,3,4) given in this question, when properly sequenced, form a coherent paragraph. Each sentence is labelled with a number. Decide on the proper sequence of order of the sentences and key in this sequence of four numbers as your answer:
1. Impartiality and objectivity are fiendishly difficult concepts that can cause all sorts of injustices even if transparently implemented.
2. It encourages us into bubbles of people we know and like, while blinding us to different perspectives, but the deeper problem of ‘transparency’ lies in the words “…and much more”.
3. Twitter’s website says that “tweets you are likely to care about most will show up first in your timeline…based on accounts you interact with most, tweets you engage with, and much more.”
4. We are only told some of the basic principles, and we can’t see the algorithm itself, making it hard for citizens to analyse the system sensibly or fairly or be convinced of its impartiality and objectivity.

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The correct sequence of the sentences is determined by their logical flow and cohesiveness in forming a coherent paragraph. Let's analyze the sentences:
  • Sentence 1: "Impartiality and objectivity are fiendishly difficult concepts that can cause all sorts of injustices even if transparently implemented." This sentence sets up a general statement about the challenges of impartiality and objectivity.
  • Sentence 3: "Twitter’s website says that 'tweets you are likely to care about most will show up first in your timeline…based on accounts you interact with most, tweets you engage with, and much more.'" This sentence introduces Twitter's algorithm, which is relevant to the discussion of transparency and objectivity.
  • Sentence 2: "It encourages us into bubbles of people we know and like, while blinding us to different perspectives, but the deeper problem of 'transparency' lies in the words '…and much more'." This sentence logically follows Sentence 3 as it critiques the algorithm mentioned.
  • Sentence 4: "We are only told some of the basic principles, and we can’t see the algorithm itself, making it hard for citizens to analyse the system sensibly or fairly or be convinced of its impartiality and objectivity." This sentence concludes the paragraph by discussing the limitations in transparency and their impact on impartiality and objectivity.
Therefore, the correct order is Sentence 1, Sentence 3, Sentence 2, Sentence 4, giving us the sequence 1324. This progression starts with a statement about general concepts, introduces the specific example of Twitter, critiques it, and concludes with the challenges of analyzing such opaque systems.
