Pollution Sentence Rearrangement

This question asks us to arrange five sentences, labeled A, B, C, D, and E, into a meaningful paragraph. We then need to identify which sentence becomes the fourth in this correct sequence. The central theme is the significant issue of rising pollution and its effects.

Logical Sentence Ordering

To find the correct sequence, we analyze the connection and flow between each sentence:

  • Sentence B: "Rising pollution is a very big problem for us." This sentence is the most logical starting point because it introduces the main topic – that pollution is a major problem.
  • Sentence A: "We breathe polluted air, drink polluted water and eat polluted food." This sentence follows B well, as it provides specific examples of how pollution affects us daily, detailing the 'problem for us' mentioned in B.
  • Sentence D: "It is producing health challenges for all." After presenting the examples in A, this sentence states a direct consequence of pollution, specifically focusing on health impacts. The pronoun 'It' clearly refers back to the pollution discussed.
  • Sentence E: "Pollution produces many health challenges not only for all creatures but also for our environment." This sentence elaborates on the consequences mentioned in D. It broadens the scope by including 'all creatures' and 'our environment', making it a more comprehensive statement about the wide-ranging negative impacts of pollution. Thus, E logically expands upon D.
  • Sentence C: "The question is rising how can we protect ourselves from this enemy." This sentence effectively concludes the paragraph by posing a question about solutions or protective measures against pollution, referred to as an 'enemy'. This makes it the final sentence in this problem-focused sequence.

Therefore, the most logical and coherent order for the sentences is B, A, D, E, C.

Fourth Sentence Identification

Based on the determined sequence (B, A, D, E, C), let's list the positions:

  1. Sentence B
  2. Sentence A
  3. Sentence D
  4. Sentence E
  5. Sentence C

The fourth sentence in the rearranged paragraph is E.
