Question

The four sentences (labelled 1, 2, 3 and 4) given 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.
1. Like the ants that make up a colony, no single neuron holds complex information like self-awareness, hope or pride.
2. Although the human brain is not yet understood enough to identify the mechanism by which emergence functions, most neurobiologists agree that complex interconnections among the parts give rise to qualities that belong only to the whole.
3. Nonetheless, the sum of all neurons in the nervous system generate complex human emotions like fear and joy, none of which can be attributed to a single neuron.
4. Human consciousness is often called an emergent property of the human brain.

• A. 4132
• B. 3214.
• C. 2431
• D. 4231

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Sentence 4 establishes the premise that human consciousness is typically viewed as an emergent property of the brain, providing foundational context. Sentences 1 and 3 are considered. Sentence 1 states that no individual neuron stores complex information like self-awareness or emotions. Sentence 3 elaborates, postulating that the collective neuronal activity within the nervous system produces complex human emotions. Therefore, Sentence 3 logically follows Sentence 1 and supports the concept of emergent properties from component interactions. Sentence 2 concludes the paragraph by acknowledging that although the exact mechanism of emergence in the brain is not fully understood, neurobiologists agree that intricate interconnections between brain components result in emergent qualities. This sentence concludes the discourse and reinforces the idea presented in Sentence 4.

The logical sequence is (A): 4132
