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.
Explanation:
Since all the sentences are talking about the comparison between translators and bumblebees, statement 1 should be the first sentence of the paragraph as it states the main point of the paragraph. There is a 5-3 link as 5 talks about the aerodynamic impossibility of the bumblebees. The phrase ‘similar pronouncements about the impossibility of translations’ refer to the same aerodynamic impossibility referred to in statement 5. This should be followed by statement 4 as it states that irrespective of the pronouncements being made, both bumblebees and translators have carried on with their respective work. Thus the correct order is 1-5-3-4. Though statement 2 appears to be connected to the paragraph, it cannot fit into the order of the statements to make a meaningful paragraph. Hence, the correct answer is 2.
