Question:

The five sentences (labelled 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) given in this question, when properly sequenced, from a coherent paragraph. Each sentence is labelled with a number. Decide on the proper order for the sentences and key in this sequence of five numbers as your answer.

This visual turn in social media has merely accentuated this announcing instinct of ours, enabling us with easy-to-create, easy-to-share, easy-to store and easy-to-consume platforms, gadgets and apps.
There is absolutely nothing new about us farming the vision of who we are or what we want, visually or otherwise, in our Facebook page, for example.
Turning the pages of most family albums, which belong to a period well before the digital dissemination of self-created and self-curated moments and images, would reconfirm the basic instinct of documenting our presence in a particular space, on a significant occasion, with others who matter.
We are empowered to book our faces and act as celebrities within the confinement of our respective friend lists, and communicate our activities, companionship and locations with minimal clicks and touches.
What is unprecedented is not the desire to put out newsfeeds related to the self, but the ease with which this broadcast operation can now be executed, often provoking (un)anticipated responses from beyond one’s immediate location.

Explanation:

Sentence 3 is the only possible starter for the paragraph as all other sentences have incomplete references within them.

Sentence 2 follows sentence 3 as it explains that there is nothing new about our tendency to record ourselves in pictures and albums as was stated in sentence 3.

The end of sentence 2, “our Facebook for example” links to sentence 1 with its ‘this visual turn in social media…’ and gives us the 3-2-1 sequence.

Sentence 4 then elaborates on the same idea with reference to ‘our friend lists and … with minimal clicks and touches.”’

Sentence 5 then concludes by commenting on ‘what is unprecedented…’ about social media that it has made it easy to broadcast ourselves.

Hence, 32145.
