Rearrange the following four sentences (1-4) to form a coherent paragraph about the nature of research. See the sentences in the description below.


1. It is a process that involves the systematic and objective investigation of a subject to discover new facts or to confirm existing ones.

2. Research is a foundational pillar of academic and scientific progress.

3. This can be either theoretical, aiming to expand knowledge, or applied, seeking to solve a practical problem.

4. The findings of this investigation are then documented and peer-reviewed to ensure validity and credibility.

Options:

  1. 2, 1, 3, 4
  2. 1, 2, 4, 3
  3. 4, 3, 2, 1
  4. 3, 4, 1, 2

Right Answer: 2, 1, 3, 4

The paragraph logically begins with sentence 2, which introduces the topic by stating that research is foundational to academic and scientific progress. Sentence 1 follows naturally, defining what this process actually involves, systematic investigation to discover or confirm facts, using the pronoun 'It' to refer back to 'research' mentioned in sentence 2. Sentence 3 then elaborates on the two forms this investigation can take, theoretical or applied, continuing the definition. Finally, sentence 4 concludes the paragraph by describing what happens after the investigation, documentation and peer review, making the correct coherent sequence 2, 1, 3, 4.
