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.
The indigenous population has been steadily collapsing since the island chain was colonised by British settlers in 1858 and used for most of the following 100 years as a colonial penal colony.
Find the sentences that build one line of thought about the language and its last speaker.
The paragraph opens with the death of the last speaker of an ancient tribal language in the Andaman Islands. Next, Bo is introduced as one of the Great Andamanese languages; then Boa Senior is named as the last fluent native; and finally she is described as unable to converse with anyone in her mother tongue in her last years.
These four form a paragraph on the loss of the Bo language. The sentence on the collapse of the indigenous population under British colonial rule moves to a broader history, so it is the odd sentence.
Hence, The indigenous population has been steadily collapsing since the island chain was colonised by British settlers in 1858 and used for most of the following 100 years as a colonial penal colony.

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.
