Rearrange the following sentences to form a coherent paragraph:

3. The most significant anthropogenic factor is the emission of greenhouse gases from industrial activities.

4. Together, these elements determine the planet's overall energy balance and, consequently, its average temperature.

The correct answer is

2, 1, 4, 3

Identify the opening sentence first. Sentence 2 is the most general statement — it introduces the topic (long-term climate variations and their two kinds of factors). It is the natural opener.

Sentence 1 begins with “These factors include …”, which logically follows sentence 2's mention of “factors”. So 2 → 1.

Sentence 4 begins with “Together, these elements…” — it summarises the natural factors listed in sentence 1 (sunlight, atmosphere, orbit). So 1 → 4.

Sentence 3 introduces the anthropogenic side (“The most significant anthropogenic factor …”), pivoting from the natural factors back to the second category mentioned in sentence 2. It comes last.

Coherent order: 2 → 1 → 4 → 3. Hence the answer is option (1).
