Solution

✅ Correct Answer: 3412

The passage talks about mental health recognition challenges in India.

Link A (3 → 4): "This" in sentence 4 refers back to the concept of hidden health aspects from sentence 3, creating a pronoun-antecedent connection.

Link B (4 → 1): Sentence 4 establishes Indian cultural context about visible health markers, leading logically to sentence 1's discussion of mental illness recognition struggles.

Link C (1 → 2): "The data" in sentence 2 provides specific statistical evidence supporting the mental illness recognition problem outlined in sentence 1.


Introduction: Sentence 3 is the introducing sentence because it presents the broad concept that health has hidden aspects.

Conclusion: Sentence 2 is the concluding sentence because it provides concrete statistical evidence supporting the main argument.


Assembling: The flow moves from general health concept to Indian context to specific problem to supporting data.

Hence the correct order is 3412
