The sentences given below, when properly sequenced, form a coherent paragraph. Each sentence is labelled with a number. Decide on the most logical order and enter the sequence of numbers in the space provided.
- In this microgravity environment, your blood also tends to move towards the heart and head.
- Both effects are only short-lived and, after a brief period of readjustment on arriving back home, the heart and spine return to normal.
- The heart interprets this as an increase in the amount of blood in the body and that it needs to pump less, so it shrinks.
- In space with less gravitational force than on Earth, there’s less pressure on your spine and so it’ll get a bit longer, effectively making you as much as two inches taller.

Entered answer:
Solution
The passage talks about physiological changes astronauts experience in space environment
Link A (4 → 1): "In this microgravity environment" and "also" connect to space environment and add blood circulation effects
Link B (1 → 3): "The heart interprets this" directly references blood moving to heart and head from sentence 1
Link C (3 → 2): "Both effects" refers back to spine lengthening and heart shrinking effects mentioned earlier
Introduction: Sentence 4 is the introducing sentence because it establishes the space/microgravity environment setting
Conclusion: Sentence 2 is the concluding sentence because it summarizes both effects and their temporary nature
Assembling: Space environment introduction, blood circulation effect, heart response, then summary of both effects
Hence the correct order is 4132
