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.
- Various industrial sectors including retail, transit systems, enterprises, educational institutions, event organizing, finance, travel etc. have now started leveraging these beacons solutions to track and communicate with their customers.
- A beacon fixed on to a shop wall enables the retailer to assess the proximity of the customer, and come up with a much targeted or personalized communication like offers, discounts and combos on products in each shelf.
- Smart phones or other mobile devices can capture the beacon signals, and distance can be estimated by measuring received signal strength.
- Beacons are tiny and inexpensive, micro-location-based technology devices that can send radio frequency signals and notify nearby Bluetooth devices of their presence and transmit information.

Entered answer:
Solution
Step-by-step thought process:
First, let's identify what each sentence does:
- Sentence 1: Talks about "these beacon solutions" (assumes we know what beacons are)
- Sentence 2: Gives specific retail example
- Sentence 3: Explains how beacon signals work technically
- Sentence 4: Defines what beacons are from scratch
Key insight: Sentence 4 is the only one that introduces beacons without assuming prior knowledge -> must come first.
From passage: "Beacons are tiny and inexpensive, micro-location-based technology devices..."
Next, I look for natural pairs:
- 4-3 pair: After defining beacons (4), explain how signals work (3)
- 1-2 pair: After mentioning industrial uses (1), give specific retail example (2)
Flow: Definition -> Technical explanation -> Applications -> Specific example
= 4-3-1-2 = 4312
Common student confusion: You might think sentence 1 could start because it mentions "various sectors." But notice it says "these beacon solutions" - this assumes we already know what beacons are! Always check if a sentence assumes prior knowledge.
The correct sequence 4312 follows the logical pattern: introduce -> explain -> apply -> exemplify.
