Entered answer:
Solution
The passage talks about transition from hunter-gatherer lifestyle to early agriculture.
Link A (2 → 1): The hunter-gatherer searching for food naturally leads to harvesting wild grains as part of gathering activities.
Link B (1 → 4): After harvesting wild grains, "This was followed by" refers to the next step of scattering the spare grains to attempt cultivation.
Link C (4 → 3): "As the crops began to give better yields" follows from the attempt to grow food, with "this reduced his need" referencing back to the original hunting-gathering behavior from sentence 2.
Introduction: Sentence 2 is the introducing sentence because it establishes the hunter-gatherer's original lifestyle and food-seeking behavior.
Conclusion: Sentence 3 is the concluding sentence because it shows the final outcome of transitioning from hunting-gathering to agriculture.
Assembling: The sequence follows chronological progression from nomadic hunting to settled farming with clear time markers and logical cause-effect relationships.
Hence the correct order is 2143
