CAT 2021 Slot 2 · VARC · Hard · Verbal Ability
The four sentences (labelled 1, 2, 3 and 4) below, when properly sequenced would yield a coherent paragraph. Decide on the proper sequencing of the order of the sentences and key in the sequence of the four numbers as your answer:
- Look forward a few decades to an invention which can end the energy crisis, change the global economy and curb climate change at a stroke: commercial fusion power.
- To gain meaningful insights, logic has to be accompanied by asking probing questions of nature through controlled tests, precise observations and clever analysis.
- The greatest of all inventions is the über-invention that has provided the insights on which others depend: the modern scientific method.
- This invention is inconceivable without the scientific method; it will rest on the application of a diverse range of scientific insights, such as the process transforming hydrogen into helium to release huge amounts of energy.
3214
Explanation
Sentence 3 introduces the overarching invention (scientific method). Sentence 2 elaborates on how the scientific method gains insights. Sentence 1 introduces commercial fusion power as a future invention, and Sentence 4 connects fusion power back to the scientific method ('This invention is inconceivable without the scientific method...'). Thus, 3214.
