Question

The four sentences (labelled 1, 2, 3, 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. While you might think that you see or are aware of all the changes that happen in your immediate environment, there is simply too much information for your brain to fully process everything.
2. Psychologists use the term ‘change blindness’ to describe this tendency of people to be blind to changes though they are in the immediate environment.
3. It cannot be aware of every single thing that happens in the world around you.

• A. 1243
• B. 1342
• C. 1234
• D. 1432

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The objective is to arrange the sentences into a logical paragraph. Initially, evaluate each sentence:

1. Sentence 1 posits that human brains are incapable of processing all environmental alterations.
2. Sentence 2 introduces the term 'change blindness,' which defines the phenomenon described in Sentence 1.
3. Sentence 3 reinforces the concept from Sentence 1 by stating that our brains cannot be privy to all occurrences surrounding us.
4. Sentence 4 offers an illustration of this phenomenon, detailing how individuals may fail to notice significant changes happening in their immediate view.

In sequence, Sentence 1 serves as the opening statement, establishing the overarching concept. Sentence 3 follows by elaborating on the brain's limitations previously mentioned in Sentence 1. Subsequently, Sentence 4 provides a practical example, validating the concept introduced. Lastly, Sentence 2 concludes the paragraph by defining 'change blindness,' the phenomenon that has been the focus of the preceding sentences. Therefore, the established order is 1342.
