Question

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”.

• A. Option 3
• B. Option 1
• C. Option 4
• D. Option 2

Hint:

In jumbled sentences, consider the natural progression of the narrative and how each sentence connects logically to the others.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Approach (build-the-best-four): Instead of judging each line alone, try to assemble the tightest four-sentence paragraph; whichever sentence you keep leaving outside is the misfit.

Step 1 — Anchor the opener: Sentence 1 introduces Torres by appearance (“resembles a child’s doodle”) — a natural lead for a profile-style review. Start with 1.

Step 2 — Extend the persona: Sentence 2 moves from looks to manner (“casual millennial delivery... surreal concepts”); Sentence 5 moves to the content of his mind (“what orange sounds like,” “highly purple behaviour”). These flow as appearance $\to$ delivery $\to$ ideas.

Step 3 — Close with the verdict: Sentence 3 delivers the reviewer’s payoff — “this hour leaves you tickled pink” — a wrap-up judgement that also keeps the colour motif. So 1-2-5-3 is a complete, colour-threaded review.

Step 4 — The one left out: Sentence 4, the overhead-camera/crayon-squiggle staging note comparing it to “My Favourite Shapes,” never found a slot in that persona-and-verdict arc — it is technical scaffolding, tonally and topically apart from the colour-wordplay portrait.

Final answer: Odd one out is 4 — Option 3.
