The sentences given below, when properly sequenced, form a coherent paragraph.
Each sentence is labelled with a number. Decide on the most logical order and enter the sequence of numbers in the space provided. Only numbers are to be entered in the space provided for the answer, and no letters, characters, or spaces should be entered. For example, a response such as 3412 is valid, and responses such as 3412. or 3 41 2 are invalid.
1. What is more shocking to observe is how often such strokes lead to death.
2. When the body temperature rises, our vital organs swell, and this causes death.
3. One main reason for this is that people underestimate how badly heat can affect the body.
4. Heat strokes have become more common in our country than ever before.
The correct sequence is 4312.
The paragraph begins with Sentence 4, which introduces the main topic: heat strokes are becoming increasingly common in the country. Sentence 3 follows by explaining why people often underestimate the dangers of extreme heat. Sentence 1 adds to this by pointing out a shocking consequence of such underestimation — that heat strokes frequently lead to death. Finally, Sentence 2 explains the biological reason behind this outcome. This order establishes a coherent progression from the increase in cases, to public misunderstanding, to the gravity of the issue, and ultimately to the medical explanation.
