The sentences given below, when properly sequenced, would yield a coherent paragraph. Decide on the proper sequencing of the order of the sentences and key in the sequence of the numbers as your answer.
- From chemical pollutants in the environment to the damming of rivers to invasive species transported through global trade and travel, every environmental issue is different and there is no single tech solution that can solve this crisis.
- Discourse on the threat of environmental collapse revolves around cutting down emissions, but biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse are caused by myriad and diverse reasons.
- This would require legislation that recognises the rights of future generations and other species that allows the judiciary to uphold a much higher standard of environmental protection than currently possible.
- Clearly, our environmental crisis requires large political solutions, not minor technological ones, so, instead of focusing on infinite growth, we could consider a path of stable-state economies, while preserving markets and healthy competition.

Entered answer:
Solution
Step-by-step thought process:
First,we need to find the opening sentence that introduces the main topic -> Sentence 2 talks about environmental discourse and introduces the key problem (biodiversity loss has many causes).
Next, we look for elaboration -> Sentence 1 gives specific examples of those "myriad and diverse reasons" (pollutants, dams, invasive species) and concludes "no single tech solution."
Thenwe need the transition -> Sentence 4 picks up on "no single tech solution" and argues for "large political solutions, not minor technological ones."
Finally, the conclusion -> Sentence 3 gives a specific example of what those political solutions would look like (legislation for future generations).
From passage: "biodiversity loss and ecosystem collapse are caused by myriad and diverse reasons" connects to "From chemical pollutants... every environmental issue is different"
The flow is: Problem introduction -> Examples -> Solution type needed -> Specific solution
Key connections to spot:
π’ 2β1: "myriad and diverse reasons" gets examples in sentence 1
π’ 1β4: "no single tech solution" connects to "large political solutions, not minor technological ones"
π’ 4β3: Political solutions idea gets specific with "legislation" example
Correct sequence: 2-1-4-3
The answer 2143 follows this logical progression from problem identification to specific solutions.
