Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Correct Answer
3 – 1 – 4 – 2
(Note: While the provided exam key marks option 4 as the answer, this appears to be a misprint in the official answer key. The correct logical sequence is option 1: 3 – 1 – 4 – 2).
Explanation
To arrange these instructions into a meaningful sequence, you must follow the natural, chronological step-by-step logic of cooking or preparing food.
First, you need a container to hold the ingredients: (3) Take a clean bowl.
Second, you must place the primary ingredient inside that container: (1) Crack two eggs into it.
Third, you season the food once it is inside the bowl: (4) Add salt and pepper to the eggs.
Finally, you combine everything together to complete the preparation: (2) Whisk the mixture well.
Following any other order creates impossible or illogical scenarios. For example, you cannot add salt and pepper to eggs (4) or crack eggs (1) before you have taken out a bowl (3). Therefore, 3 – 1 – 4 – 2 is the only sequence that follows a correct procedural timeline.
Key Points
The logical chronological timeline for this recipe is Container - Main Ingredient - Seasoning - Mixing.
