Solution

✅ Correct Answer: 2143

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
