Question 12

Five jumbled up sentences (labelled 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5), related to a topic, are given below. Four of them can be put together to form a coherent paragraph. Identify the odd sentence and key in the number of that sentence as your answer.

1. The UK is a world leader in developing cultivated meat and the approval of a cultivated pet food is an important milestone.
2. If we’re to realise the full potential benefits of cultivated meat the government must invest in research and infrastructure.
3. The first UK applications for cultivated meat produced for humans remain under assessment with the Food Standards Agency.
4. The previous UK government had been looking at fast-tracking the approval of cultivated meat for human consumption.
5. It underscores the potential for new innovation to help reduce the negative impacts of intensive animal agriculture.


Correct Answer: 4

Solution

Sentence 4 is the odd one out.

Sentences 1, 2, 3, and 5 all focus on the current status and future prospects of cultivated meat in the UK, such as the leadership in developing cultivated meat, regulatory assessments, and the importance of government investment in research.

Sentence 4, however, refers to the previous UK government's efforts to fast-track approval of cultivated meat which is disconnected from the other sentences, as the focus shifts to a past action rather than the current developments or future needs in the industry.
