The correct sequence: 3124.

Key Points

• Let's break down the logic behind this order:
  • Sentence 3: "The Ivy League universities have long exerted a formidable influence on global academia, politics, and industry, often seen as pinnacles of elite education."
    • This sentence introduces the central subject – Ivy League universities – and establishes their long-standing influence and perceived status as "pinnacles of elite education." It serves as an excellent opening statement.
  • Sentence 1: "This perceived superiority often leads to a disproportionate allocation of resources, talent, and public attention towards these institutions."
    • Following Sentence 3, Sentence 1 logically explains a direct consequence of the "formidable influence" and "pinnacles of elite education" mentioned. "This perceived superiority" clearly refers to the status established in Sentence 3, leading to the stated allocation of resources.
  • Sentence 2: "However, this dominance is increasingly questioned, with debates arising over accessibility, diversity, and the true value proposition compared to other excellent universities."
    • The word "However" signals a shift from describing the established influence to introducing a contrasting perspective – that this "dominance" is now being challenged or "questioned." This creates a smooth flow from cause/effect to counter-argument.
  • Sentence 4: "Consequently, the broader academic landscape faces challenges in securing comparable prestige and investment, potentially hindering innovation and equitable educational opportunities nationwide."
    • "Consequently" indicates a result or outcome. This sentence logically follows Sentence 2 by describing a broader impact of the questioned dominance on the "academic landscape," tying back to the initial idea of disproportionate allocation and the ongoing debates.

Additional Information

• The sequence 3124 forms a coherent and logical paragraph by first introducing the subject and its influence (3), then detailing the consequences of that influence (1), followed by a counter-argument or questioning of that influence (2), and finally, the broader implications of that questioning on the larger system (4). This progression builds a clear narrative.

The correct sequence: 3124.

Key Points

• Let's break down the logic behind this order:
  • Sentence 3: "The Nehruvian era of the Indian National Congress was largely defined by a distinct ideological framework articulated by its first Prime Minister."
    • This sentence serves as the ideal introduction, setting the historical context by introducing the "Nehruvian era" and its defining "ideological framework." It clearly establishes the main subject of the paragraph.
  • Sentence 1: "This foundational vision emphasized secularism, democratic socialism, and non-alignment in foreign policy, shaping India's initial post-independence trajectory."
    • Following Sentence 3, Sentence 1 logically elaborates on "This foundational vision," directly referring to the "distinct ideological framework" just mentioned. It outlines the specific tenets of that ideology.
  • Sentence 2: "However, with economic liberalization and a shifting political landscape, the contemporary Congress Party faces scrutiny regarding its adherence to these original principles."
    • "However" signals a shift, introducing a contrasting idea related to the "contemporary Congress Party" and its current situation. This sentence directly refers back to "these original principles" (from Sentence 1), creating a smooth transition from historical ideology to present-day challenges.
  • Sentence 4: "Critics argue that electoral compulsions and the pursuit of power have led to a dilution or even abandonment of core Nehruvian tenets in favor of more populist or centrist stances."
    • Sentence 4 provides the specific reasons and arguments behind the "scrutiny" mentioned in Sentence 2. It elaborates on how and why the party's adherence to original principles might have changed, serving as a logical conclusion to the discussion.

Additional Information

• The sequence 3124 forms a coherent paragraph that starts by defining the historical context, then describes the key elements of that context, before moving to the present-day situation and the criticisms associated with it. This logical progression from general introduction to specific details and then to contrasting contemporary analysis ensures clarity and flow.

The correct answer is DCBA.

Key Points

• Sentence D should be first sentence as it seems to be an introduction sentence which mentions about the most obvious indication of climate change.
