Five jumbled sentences (labelled 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5), related to a topic, are given below. Four of them can be put together to form a coherent paragraph. Identify the odd sentence out and key in the number of that sentence as your answer.
- The Bayeux tapestry was, therefore, an obvious way to tell people about the downfall of the English and the rise of the Normans.
- So if we take expert in Anglo-Saxon culture Gale Owen-Crocker’s idea that the tapestry was originally hung in a square with certain scenes facing each other, people would have stood in the centre.
- Art historian Linda Neagley has argued that pre-Renaissance people interacted with art visually, kinaesthetically (sensory perception through bodily movement) and physically.
- That would make it an 11th-century immersive space with scenes corresponding and echoing each other, drawing the viewer’s attention, playing on their senses and understanding of the story they thought they knew.
- The Bayeux tapestry would have been hung at eye level to enable this.

Entered answer:
Solution
✅ Correct Answer: 1
The coherent chain is 3-5-2-4, all about how viewers physically experienced the tapestry: Neagley's claim about embodied interaction (3), the eye-level hanging that enables this (5), Owen-Crocker's square layout with viewers in the centre (2), and the resulting immersive space (4). Sentence 1 is about the tapestry's propaganda purpose (telling of the Norman conquest), a different theme, so it is the odd one out.
