Explanation
Correct Answer
3 - 4 - 1 - 2
Explanation
To arrange these sentences into a meaningful sequence, you must follow the natural, chronological step-by-step logic of operating a computer and working on a file.
First, the machine must be powered up: (3) He turned on the computer.
Second, once the computer boots up, access must be granted to the user: (4) He entered his login details.
Third, after gaining access to the operating system, the user locates and accesses the specific work: (1) He opened the document.
Finally, once the file is fully open on the screen, work can officially begin: (2) He started editing the file.
This sequential timeline makes 3 - 4 - 1 - 2 the only arrangement that makes logical sense.
Key Points
The logical chronological timeline for this scenario is Power On - Authentication - File Access - Direct Action.
Any other order creates impossible scenarios, such as entering login details before turning on the computer, or editing a file before it has actually been opened.
