Question:hard

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:
1. Fish skin collagen has excellent thermo-stability and tensile strength making it ideal for use as bandage
that adheres to the skin and adjusts to body movements.
2. Collagen, one of the main structural proteins in connective tissues in the human body, is well known for
promoting skin regeneration.
3. Fish skin swims in here as diseases and bacteria that affect fish are different from most human pathogens.
4. The risk of introducing disease agents into other species through the use of pig and cow collagen proteins
for wound healing has inhibited its broader applications in the medical field

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

The correct sequence is 2431. The logical ordering of the sentences to form a coherent paragraph is as follows:
  1. (2) Collagen, a primary structural protein in human connective tissues, is recognized for its role in skin regeneration.
  2. (4) The potential transmission of disease agents to other species via pig and cow collagen proteins used for wound healing has limited their wider medical application.
  3. (3) Fish skin collagen is a viable alternative, as the diseases and bacteria affecting fish differ from most human pathogens.
  4. (1) Fish skin collagen exhibits superior thermo-stability and tensile strength, making it suitable for bandages that adhere well to the skin and accommodate body movements.
Explanation: The paragraph begins by establishing collagen's function in sentence 2. Sentence 4 addresses the challenges associated with animal-derived collagen, paving the way for sentence 3 to introduce fish skin collagen. Sentence 1 then elaborates on the advantages of utilizing fish skin collagen.
