Rearrange the following sentences to form a coherent paragraph.


1. A key strategy is to diversify energy sources, transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable alternatives like solar, wind, and geothermal power.
2. To mitigate the worst effects of climate change, the global community must drastically reduce its reliance on carbon-intensive energy production.
3. This shift not only decreases greenhouse gas emissions but also improves air quality and creates new economic opportunities.
4. Additionally, policies that promote energy efficiency in buildings and transportation can further lower overall energy consumption.

Options:

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

Right Answer: 2, 1, 3, 4

Sentence two must open the paragraph because it states the overall goal, namely reducing reliance on carbon-intensive energy to mitigate climate change. Sentence one follows by introducing the first means of achieving that goal, describing diversification into renewable sources as a key strategy. Sentence three then comments on that very strategy, since the phrase 'This shift' refers back to the transition just described and lists its benefits. Sentence four ends the paragraph, with 'Additionally' signalling a further measure concerning energy efficiency. Hence the correct order is 2, 1, 3, 4.
