Arrange the passage correctly:
(1) He entered the complete address of where he was going into the search bar.
(2) The navigation system then directed him with turn-by-turn instructions while he drove.
(3) Having considered the alternatives, he chose the one with the shortest estimated duration.
(4) He turned on his GPS and waited for the device to gain a signal from the satellites.

Correct Answer
4 - 1 - 3 - 2
Explanation
To arrange these sentences into a meaningful sequence, you must follow the natural chronological steps of using a GPS navigation system for a road trip.
First, the hardware must be powered on and connected: (4) He turned on his GPS and waited for the device to gain a signal from the satellites.
Second, once the device is ready, the user must input the destination: (1) He entered the complete address of where he was going into the search bar.
Third, after entering the address, the system offers different routes, and the user selects the best one: (3) Having considered the alternatives, he chose the one with the shortest estimated duration.
Finally, once the route is selected, active guidance begins during the drive: (2) The navigation system then directed him with turn-by-turn instructions while he drove.
This sequential logic makes 4 - 1 - 3 - 2 the only correct arrangement.
Key Points
The logical timeline for this scenario is Device/Signal Initialization - Destination Input - Route Selection - Active Guidance.
Sentence 3 mentions choosing "one" from "alternatives," which logically requires a destination to have already been entered (Sentence 1) so the GPS can calculate those alternative routes.
