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.
- What precisely are the "unusual elements" that make a particular case so attractive to a certain kind of audience?
- It might be a particularly savage or unfathomable level of depravity, very often it has something to do with the precise amount of mystery involved.
- Unsolved, and perhaps unsolvable cases offer something that "ordinary" murder doesn't.
- Why are some crimes destined for perpetual re-examination and others locked into permanent obscurity?

Entered answer:
Solution
From passage: The sentences discuss crimes that get "perpetual re-examination" versus those in "permanent obscurity" and what makes cases attractive to audiences.
My thought process: Start broad → narrow down → provide answers → elaborate
Sentence 4 asks the big picture question about why some crimes stay famous while others are forgotten → Sentence 1 then asks the specific question about what unusual elements make cases attractive → Sentence 2 answers that question by listing possible elements → Sentence 3 elaborates on one specific type (unsolved cases).
The sequence should be: 4-1-2-3
🟢 4123 is correct → follows perfect logical progression: broad question → specific question → answer → elaboration
This creates smooth flow: "Why do some crimes stay famous?" → "What specific elements attract audiences?" → "It might be depravity or mystery" → "Unsolved cases offer something special"
Each sentence connects naturally to the next, building from general concept to specific details.
