Right Answer: 2, 4, 1, 3

A coherent paragraph opens with a general definition. Sentence two performs that role by defining science fiction as a genre of speculative fiction dealing with futuristic science and technology. Sentence four follows, conceding that the genre entertains but serves a purpose beyond mere escapism, which prepares the reader for what that purpose is. Sentence one then supplies it, explaining that these narratives explore the ethical and social consequences of technological advancement. Sentence three concludes with 'This makes it a powerful tool for social commentary', where 'This' refers back to that exploration. Hence the order 2, 4, 1, 3 is correct.
