Entered answer:
Solution
The passage talks about comparing two historical sepoy mutinies in India.
Link A (3 → 1): "But" creates contrast and "this" specifically references the 1857 Meerut mutiny from sentence 3.
Link B (1 → 4): "It" is a pronoun referring back to "the mutiny of Visakhapatnam" mentioned in sentence 1.
Link C (4 → 2): Sentence 2 describes the specific actions of sepoys during the 1780 Visakhapatnam mutiny outlined in sentence 4.
Introduction: Sentence 3 is the introducing sentence because it establishes the commonly known 1857 Sepoy Mutiny as context.
Conclusion: Sentence 2 is the concluding sentence because it describes the final outcome of the Visakhapatnam mutiny.
Assembling: Starting with 1857 context, contrasting with earlier 1780 mutiny, then explaining its details and outcome.
