Question 9

Five jumbled 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 out and key in the number of that sentence as your answer.

1.Sporting a copper-coloured pixie cut and a pair of pink feather antlers, Torres himself resembles a child’s doodle.
2.His casual millennial delivery, peppered with “um”s and “ah”s, makes surreal concepts sound like items on a brunch menu.
3.Though he may have failed so far in his colour-scouting mission (he hasn’t yet found a new one, he admits), this hour leaves you tickled pink.
4.Like his previous show, My Favourite Shapes, this is an hour of sit-down comedy aided by an overhead camera which relays Torres’s theories - illustrated with crayon squiggles - on to a screen behind him.
5.His inquisitive mind produces interconnected ideas about Catholicism, the blandness of Pixar and what orange sounds like, while his insights train us to spot “highly purple behaviour”.


Correct Answer: 3

The paragraph is about Torres’s comedy show: its format, ideas, and delivery. Sentence 4 works as the opening because it introduces the show and explains its structure, making it the natural starting point. Sentence 1 continues this setup by shifting focus to Torres’ physical appearance. Sentence 5 then moves to his comic sensibility, developing the kind of ideas he explores, and Sentence 2 closes by characterising his delivery, tying back to how those ideas are presented. 4251, therefore, presents a coherent paragraph. 

Sentence 3 breaks this flow because it introduces a specific “colour-scouting mission” and a personal audience reaction, which does not connect clearly to the descriptive sequence of the show’s structure, ideas, and style. Therefore, the correct order is 4-1-5-2, and the odd sentence out is 3.
