Solution

✅ Correct Answer: 3241

The passage talks about lightning deaths and government response measures.

Link A (3 → 2): Sentence 2's "those who have been killed by lightning strikes" specifically references the 2800 lightning deaths announced in sentence 3.

Link B (2 → 4): "The Minister responded" in sentence 4 directly addresses the compensation demands mentioned in sentence 2.

Link C (4 → 1): "However" in sentence 1 contrasts farmers ignoring warnings against the Minister's pamphlet distribution efforts from sentence 4.


Introduction: Sentence 3 is the introducing sentence because it provides the key statistical announcement about lightning deaths.

Conclusion: Sentence 1 is the concluding sentence because it explains why the problem persists despite government efforts.


Assembling: Minister announces deaths, people demand compensation, Minister responds with pamphlets, but farmers ignore warnings anyway.

Hence the correct order is 3241
