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.
It is a ‘theory of mind’ though some scholars prefer to call it ‘mentalizing’ or ‘mindreading’, which is important for the development of one's cognitive abilities.
Find the sentences that build one line of thought about the same capacity.
The paragraph opens with the capacity to perceive and interpret other people’s behaviour in terms of their mental states. The next idea explains why it matters: it is a prerequisite for language, social interaction, reflexive thought and moral judgment. “This capacity develops” traces its growth from the first year of life, and the last idea turns to “its evolutionary origin”.
These four form a paragraph on the capacity, its importance, its growth in a person and its evolution. The sentence on what the capacity is called (‘theory of mind’, ‘mentalizing’ or ‘mindreading’) adds a loose remark on cognitive abilities, and those names are not taken up anywhere else, so it is the odd sentence.
Hence, It is a ‘theory of mind’ though some scholars prefer to call it ‘mentalizing’ or ‘mindreading’, which is important for the development of one's cognitive abilities.

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.
