Direction: The four sentences (labeled 1, 2, 3, 4) below, when properly sequenced would yield a coherent paragraph. Decide on the proper sequencing of the order of the sentences and key in the sequence of the four numbers as your answer: 1. The combined threat of social and economic conditions as well as climate-induced migration to human security is also predicted to escalate in this region. 2. Economic disadvantage and modes of governance also contribute to the area’s volatility, as the local government relies on extremely limited federal fiscal support. 3. This is evident in Assam where instances of violent conflict are dependent on both increased levels of migration due to climate change in this area. 4. The nature of climate change impacts in northern India is consistent with its present role as a risk intensifier rather than a direct cause of conflict.

The correct answer is '4321'. Key Points While arranging the parts of the paragraph, we should find some grammatical or contextual connections between them- 4 is the first sentence ​ as it is an independent sentence that is talking about the nature of climate change impacts in northern India. It means that climate change is acting as a risk-intensifier instead of a direct cause of conflict in northern India. 3 is the second sentence as it is describing how climate change is acting as a risk-intensifier. It gives the example of Assam where there is increased levels of migration due to climate change. 2 is the third sentence since the adverb 'also' indicates another reason for Assam's migration. It says that another reason for migration is economic disadvantage and modes of governance, as local governments rely on extremely limited federal fiscal support. 1 is the last sentence as it is concluding that the combined threat of social, economic and climate-related migration is expected to grow in Assam. Thus, the correct order is 4321: ​4: The nature of climate change impacts in northern India is consistent with its present role as a risk intensifier rather than a direct cause of conflict. 3: This is evident in Assam where instances of violent conflict are dependent on both increased levels of migration due to climate change in this area. 2: Economic disadvantage and modes of governance also contribute to the area’s volatility, as the local government relies on extremely limited federal fiscal support. 1: The combined threat of social and economic conditions as well as climate-induced migration to human security is also predicted to escalate in this region.
