The sentences 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 numbers as your answer.

  1. In the central nervous systems of other animal species, such a comprehensive regeneration of neurons has not yet been proven beyond doubt.
  2. Biologists from the University of Bayreuth have discovered a uniquely rapid form of regeneration in injured neurons and their function in the central nervous system of zebrafish.
  3. They studied the Mauthner cells, which are solely responsible for the escape behaviour of the fish, and previously regarded as incapable of regeneration.
  4. However, their ability to regenerate crucially depends on the location of the injury.

Solution

✅ Correct Answer: 2341

Step-by-step thought process:

First, we look for the opening sentence - one that introduces a new topic without depending on previous information.

Sentence 2 is a complete introduction: "Biologists from the University of Bayreuth have discovered..." This doesn't need any prior context.

Next, we follow the pronoun connections -> Sentence 3 starts with "They studied" -> This "They" clearly refers to the "Biologists" mentioned in sentence 2.

Then we look for transition words -> Sentence 4 starts with "However" -> This word shows it's adding a limitation to what came before.

Finally, sentence 1 provides a broader comparison -> It contrasts the zebrafish discovery with other animal species.

Logical flow: Introduction -> Specific study details -> Limitation -> Broader context
