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.
- Look forward a few decades to an invention which can end the energy crisis, change the global economy and curb climate change at a stroke: commercial fusion power.
- To gain meaningful insights, logic has to be accompanied by asking probing questions of nature through controlled tests, precise observations and clever analysis.
- The greatest of all inventions is the uber-invention that has provided the insights on which others depend: the modern scientific method.
- This invention is inconceivable without the scientific method; it will rest on the application of a diverse range of scientific insights, such as the process transforming hydrogen into helium to release huge amounts of energy.

Entered answer:
Solution
Let us trace the connections between ideas.
Step 1: Find the starting point -> Sentence 3 introduces a broad concept (scientific method as greatest invention)
Step 2: Look for explanations -> Sentence 2 explains how the scientific method works
Step 3: Find examples -> Sentence 1 gives a specific future invention (fusion power)
Step 4: Look for connections -> Sentence 4 links the example back to the main concept
From passage: "The greatest of all inventions is the uber-invention" (sentence 3) and "This invention is inconceivable without the scientific method" (sentence 4)
Thought Process:
Start broad -> explain details -> give example -> connect back
3 (introduces scientific method) -> 2 (explains how it works) -> 1 (gives fusion power example) -> 4 (connects fusion back to scientific method)
The word "this invention" in sentence 4 must refer to something mentioned just before -> that's "commercial fusion power" from sentence 1.
Since this question only has one correct answer and no wrong options to eliminate, the sequence is:
🟢 3214 -> Creates perfect logical flow from general concept to specific example and back to connection
The paragraph flows: Scientific method is greatest invention -> Here's how it works -> Here's a future example -> That example depends on scientific method
