Solution

✅ Correct Answer: 2314

The passage explores the tension between social media expectations and celebrity/influencer responsibility regarding public issues.

Link A (2 → 3): Sentence 2 establishes the context of social media creating expectations that "every video, every tweet needs to be irreproachable." Sentence 3 naturally follows by questioning whether celebrities must always have a stance, directly addressing this expectation. The transition flows from describing the problem to questioning the norm.

Link B (3 → 1): Sentence 3 introduces "an article in a magazine" that asks about celebrity responsibility. Sentence 1 begins with "It mentions," where "It" clearly refers back to the article mentioned in sentence 3. This creates a strong pronoun-antecedent link. Furthermore, sentence 1 provides a specific example (a TikTok video) that the article discusses, adding concrete evidence to support the question raised.

Link C (1 → 4): Sentence 1 describes a TikTok video that "questioned an influencer's possible views on the Israel-Palestine crisis." Sentence 4 provides the exact question from that video in quotation marks: "Do you guys even care about the issue or do you care about influencers caring about the issue?" This direct quote illustrates the type of questioning mentioned in sentence 1, creating a seamless example-to-evidence flow.


Introduction: Sentence 2 serves as the opening because it provides the broadest context—establishing the overarching social media culture where audiences expect comprehensive, flawless commentary from content creators. This sets up the framework for the entire discussion.

Conclusion: Sentence 4 functions as the conclusion because the quoted question encapsulates the central dilemma of the passage: Are people genuinely concerned about issues, or are they more focused on policing whether influencers care? This rhetorical question leaves readers reflecting on their own motivations and expectations.


Logical Flow: The paragraph moves from general to specific:

  • General context (2): Social media expectations
  • Specific question (3): Whether celebrities must always have opinions
  • Concrete example (1): An article mentioning a specific TikTok video
  • Direct evidence (4): The actual question asked in that video

This structure creates a coherent argument that builds evidence progressively, making the reasoning transparent and easy to follow.

Hence the correct order is 2314
