Solution

✅ Correct Answer: 3142

The passage talks about leopards straying into villages and a rescue incident

Link A (3 → 1): Sentence 1 provides specific example with "In a recent incident" of general problem mentioned in sentence 3

Link B (1 → 4): Pronoun "it" in sentence 4 refers back to "leopard cub" mentioned in sentence 1

Link C (4 → 2): Time word "then" in sentence 2 shows sequence after examination, "The cub" refers to same cub


Introduction: Sentence 3 is the introducing sentence because it provides general context about leopards straying into villages

Assembling: General context leads to specific incident, followed by examination, then reunion outcome

Hence the correct order is 3142
