Question:

Four sentences that are a part of paragraph are given below; the sentences may or may not be in the right order; create the sequence that forms a coherent paragraph.

Restitution of artefacts to original cultures could faces legal obstacles, as many Western museums are legally prohibited from disposing off their collections.
This is in response to countries like Nigeria, which are pressurising European museums to return their precious artefacts looted by colonisers in the past.
Museums in Europe today are struggling to come to terms with their colonial legacy, some taking steps to return artefacts but not wanting to lose their prized collections.
Legal hurdles notwithstanding, politicians and institutions in France and Germany would now like to defuse the colonial time bombs, and are now backing the return of part of their holdings.

Explanation:

The theme across the 4 sentences is that of museums and artefacts they own.

Statement 3 introduces this idea and hence is the best starting statement. It talks about museum and not wanting to lose their prized collection looted during colonization.

Statment 2 gives an example of this and hence follows statement 3.

Statement 1 tells us the legal problems in returning their collections while statement 4 contradicts statement 1. Hence 14 is a pair.

Therefore the correct sequence is 3214.

Hence, 3214.
