Solution

Correct Answer: 2431

The passage talks about children's environmental education and climate action contributions.

Link A (2 → 4): Sentence 2 introduces environmental education programmes generally, while sentence 4 provides a specific example of such a programme.

Link B (4 → 3): "They" in sentence 3 requires the antecedent "Six hundred elementary school children" from sentence 4 to establish who was motivated.

Link C (3 → 1): "This instance" in sentence 1 specifically references the example of motivated children taking environmental action described in sentence 3.


Introduction: Sentence 2 is the introducing sentence because it makes a general statement about environmental education programmes.

Conclusion: Sentence 1 is the concluding sentence because it summarizes the significance of the specific example with "This instance highlights."


Assembling: The flow moves from general concept to specific example to results to concluding significance.

Hence the correct order is 2431
