1. The four sentences (labelled 1, 2, 3 and 4) 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 four numbers as your answer.
[CAT 2021, Slot 1]
1. A popular response is the exhortation to plant more trees.
2. It seems all but certain that global warming will go well above two degrees - quite how high no one knows yet.
3. Burning them releases it, which is why the scale of forest fires in the Amazon basin last year garnered headlines.
4. This is because trees sequester carbon by absorbing carbon dioxide.
2. 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. The early stages of this technology were largely restricted by limitations on materials and power sources.
2. Holography was first invented and developed by a man named Dennis Gabor in 1948, and since then many new versions have been created that show different levels of detail.
3. Holograms are three-dimensional images created by light.
4. However, recent developments in holographic displays now allow for advanced holograms to become reality.
3. The four sentences (labelled 1, 2, 3 and 4) 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 four numbers as your answer.
1. Kenya, where the landscape can turn from green to reddish and back in an hour’s drive, has long been a middle ground: a place where some tribes use camels and more use cows, with identities forming around that choice.
2. For centuries, camels have resided primarily in the driest outer ring of the continent, while cows — outnumbering camels in Africa 10 to 1 — reigned in the lush river plains, in the highlands.
3. That has seemingly transformed Samburu County — an area the size of New Jersey that is home to the Samburu tribe — into an experiment on how livestock fare, and how humans respond, in a warming climate.
4. Because of that, neighboring tribes see the consequences of using one animal vs. the other.
4. The four sentences (labelled 1, 2, 3 and 4) 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 four numbers as your answer.
1. A watched pot never boils, but time flies when you’re having fun.
2. These temporal fluctuations have a great deal to do with the intricacies of perceptual psychology.
3. These all-too-familiar sayings have a basis in solid science—our sense of time really does expand and contract depending on the way we experience the world around us.
4. This is not just a general impression of time’s passage.
5. The four sentences (labelled 1, 2, 3 and 4) 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 four numbers as your answer.
1. Cheap labor there meant people could sort objects, which made it simple to separate trash from treasure.
2. But in 2018, worried about the amount of sheer junk like cling wrap coming in, China banned all rubbish imports save for 99.5 percent pure plastic.
3. In the case of tricky combos like bags full of mixed materials, for instance, workers could pull bottles from heaps of greasy takeout boxes.
4. For more than 20 years, Chinese companies helped hide the American waste problem by buying about 700,000 tons of paper and plastic from the US every year.
6. The four sentences (labelled 1, 2, 3, 4) given below, when properly sequenced would yield a coherent paragraph. Decide on the proper sequence of the order of the sentences and key in the sequence of the four numbers as your answer.
1. A house demolished into rubble is an increase in entropy because that rubble can go on to make many other structures — sheds, bookshelves, mounds and paper — whereas a house is only one very specific state of those particles.
2. White holes, with their outpours of matter, violate this law as they would decrease overall entropy.
3. Black holes are excellent at this because they take matter low in entropy, such as planets, and disperse them across large spaces over time, increasing the chaos of space.
4. Entropy is often described as chaos but can be better explained as an increase in how many states are possible for particles in a certain system.
7. 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. I have met a few who want to move to China or Japan.
2. But I have yet to meet a single person who dreams of emigrating to Russia.
3. Humans vote with their feet.
4. In my travels around the world I have met numerous people in many countries who wish to emigrate to the USA, to Germany, to Canada, or to Australia.
8. The four sentences (labelled 1, 2, 3 and 4) 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 four numbers as your answer.
[CAT 2021, Slot 3]
1. Restitution of artefacts to original cultures could faces legal obstacles, as many Western museums are legally prohibited from disposing off their collections.
2. This is in response to countries like Nigeria, which are pressurising European museums to return their precious artefacts looted by colonisers in the past.
3. Museums in Europe today are struggling to come to terms with their colonial legacy, some taking steps to return artefacts but not wanting to lose their prized collections.
4. Legal hurdles notwithstanding, politicians and institutions in France and Germany would now like to defuse the colonial time bombs, and are now backing the return of part of their holdings.
9. The four sentences (labelled 1, 2, 3 and 4) 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 four numbers as your answer.
[CAT 2023, Slot 3]
1. Veena Sahajwalla, a materials scientist at the University of New South Wales, believes there is a new way of solving this problem.
2. Her vision is for automated drones and robots to pick out components, put them into a small furnace and smelt them at specific temperatures to extract the metals one by one before they are sent off to manufacturers for reuse.
3. E-waste contains huge quantities of valuable metals, ceramics and plastics that could be salvaged and recycled, although currently not enough of it is.
4. She plans to build micro-factories that can tease apart the tangle of materials in mobile phones, computers and other e-waste.
10. The four sentences (labelled 1, 2, 3 and 4) 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 four numbers as your answer.
[CAT 2023, Slot 3]
1. Centuries later formal learning is still mostly based on reading, even with the widespread use of other possible education-affecting technologies such as film, radio, and television.
2. One of the immediate and recognisable impacts of the printing press was on how people learned; in the scribal culture it primarily involved listening, so memorization was paramount.
3. The transformation of learners from listeners to readers was a complex social and cultural phenomenon, and it was not until the industrial era that the concept of universal literacy took root.
4. The printing press shifted the learning process, as listening and memorisation gradually gave way to reading and learning no longer required the presence of a mentor; it could be done privately.
