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.

  1. Algorithms hosted on the internet are accessed by many, so biases in Al models have resulted in much larger impact, adversely affecting far larger groups of people.
  2. Though "algorithmic bias" is the popular term, the foundation of such bias is not in algorithms, but in the data; algorithms are not biased, data is, as algorithms merely reflect persistent patterns that are present in the training data.
  3. Despite their widespread impact, it is relatively easier to fix Al biases than human- generated biases, as it is simpler to identify the former than to try to make people unlearn behaviors learnt over generations.
  4. The impact of biased decisions made by humans is localised and geographically confined, but with the advent of Al, the impact of such decisions is spread over a much wider scale.

Entered answer:

Solution

✅ Correct Answer: 4123

From passage: The sentences discuss the contrast between human bias (localized) and AI bias (widespread), the source of bias (data, not algorithms), and solutions.


Step-by-Step Thought Process:

First, identify the topic -> AI bias and its impact compared to human bias

Next, look for the opening sentence -> Sentence 4 introduces the main contrast (human bias vs AI bias scale)

Then find the building sentence -> Sentence 1 expands on how AI creates larger impact through internet access

Look for explanation sentence -> Sentence 2 clarifies the real source of bias (data, not algorithms)

Finally, find the concluding sentence -> Sentence 3 ends with practical solution perspective

The flow: Problem comparison -> Scale elaboration -> Root cause -> Solution outlook


How to Eliminate Wrong Sequences:

🔴 Starting with 1, 2, or 3 -> scope-error -> These sentences assume you already know the basic contrast. Sentence 4 must come first because it sets up the fundamental comparison between human and AI bias impact.

🔴 Putting 2 before 1 -> context-shift -> You can't explain the source of bias before establishing that AI bias has widespread impact.

🔴 Ending with 1, 2, or 4 -> incomplete-flow -> These don't provide closure. Sentence 3 naturally concludes by offering hope about fixing AI biases.

🟢 Sequence 4123 -> Creates smooth logical progression from problem identification to solution perspective.

The key is recognizing that sentence 4 establishes the foundational contrast that everything else builds upon.
