Question:

Five sentences related to a topic are given below. Four of them can be put together to form a meaningful and coherent short paragraph. Identify the odd one out.

Displacement in Bengal is thus not very significant in view of its magnitude.
A factor of displacement in Bengal is the shifting course of the Ganges leading to erosion of river banks.
The nature of displacement in Bengal makes it an interesting case study.
Since displacement due to erosion is well spread over a long period of time, it remains invisible.
Rapid displacement would have helped sensitize the public to its human costs.

Explanation:

The main aim of the paragraph is discuss the displacement in Bengal. Statement 3 is the first sentence of the paragraph as it talks about the nature of displacement in Bengal being an interesting case study. This should be followed by statement 2 as it states one of the factors leading to the displacement in Bengal i.e. the erosion of the river banks of the Ganges. This leads us to statement 4 which mentions how displacement due to erosion remains invisible as it takes place slowly. Statement 1 is a better end to the paragraph as it mentions how due to the slow rate of displacement, Bengal’s displacement loses its significance. However, statement 5 talks about rapid displacement which is not discussed in the paragraph.
Hence, the correct answer is 5.
