Question: The four sentences (labelled 1, 2, 3, and 4) given in this question, when properly sequenced, form a coherent paragraph. Decide on the proper order for the sentences and key in this sequence of four numbers as your answer.
People with dyslexia have difficulty with print-reading, and people with autism spectrum disorder have difficulty with mind-reading.
An example of a lost cognitive instinct is mind-reading: our capacity to think of ourselves and others as having beliefs, desires, thoughts and feelings.
Mind-reading looks increasingly like literacy, a skill we know for sure is not in our genes, since scripts have been around for only 5,000-6,000 years.
Print-reading, like mind-reading varies across cultures, depends heavily on certain parts of the brain, and is subject to developmental disorders.
This is a tricky question since we don't normally feel the sequence would start with ‘An example…’ but in this case, a careful reading of the sentences makes it clear that 2 is introducing the concept of ‘mind-reading’. 3 elaborates further on the same concept. Sentence 4 brings in the concept of ‘Print-reading’ it's important to note here, that this sentence mentions mind-reading, so unless that concept is introduced in 2 and 3, 4 cannot come into the picture. So the correct order is 2341.
Answer: 2341
