Five jumbled up sentences (labelled 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5), related to a topic, are given below. Four of them can be put together to form a coherent paragraph.
Identify the odd sentence and key in the number of that sentence as your answer.
Companies are shaking off the old definition of an ideal candidate and ditching the idea of looking for the singularly perfect candidate altogether.
Find the sentences that build one line of thought about skills in hiring.
The paragraph opens with hard skills traditionally ruling, while some companies move away from hiring on technical ability alone. Next, job descriptions now ask candidates to show soft skills such as leadership or teamwork. Then comes the caveat that practical know-how is still needed for some jobs, and finally a recruiter calls the move towards soft skills “a natural response to three years of the pandemic”.
These four form a paragraph on the shift from hard to soft skills. The sentence about companies ditching the idea of a single perfect candidate raises a different idea, so it is the odd sentence.
Hence, Companies are shaking off the old definition of an ideal candidate and ditching the idea of looking for the singularly perfect candidate altogether.

Zombie cells may contribute to age-related chronic inflammation: this finding could help scientists understand more about the aging process and why the immune system becomes less effective as we get older. Zombie or “senescent” cells are damaged cells that can no longer divide and grow like normal cells. Scientists think that these cells can contribute to chronic health problems when they accumulate in the body. In younger people, the immune system is more effective at clearing senescent cells from the body through a process called apoptosis, but as we age this process becomes less efficient. As a result, there is an accumulation of senescent cells in different organs in the body, either through increased production or reduced clearance by the immune system. The zombie cells continue to use energy though they do not divide, and often secrete chemicals that cause inflammation, which if persistent for longer periods of time can damage healthy cells leading to chronic diseases.
