Rearrange the following sentences in correct order to make a meaningful passage.
1. Sensors transmitted temperature data to control servers.
2. A software patch was deployed to fix anomalies.
3. Data logs were analyzed for abnormal fluctuations.
4. Engineers isolated the source of the signal noise.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Correct Answer
1-3-4-2
Explanation
To form a logical passage, the sentences must follow a chronological, step-by-step technical troubleshooting sequence:
1 (Sensors transmitted temperature data...): The process starts with the initial action of gathering and transmitting data.
3 (Data logs were analyzed...): Once data is received, the logs are reviewed to find problems ("abnormal fluctuations").
4 (Engineers isolated the source...): After finding the fluctuations, engineers pinpoint the exact cause ("signal noise").
2 (A software patch was deployed...): Once the problem is isolated, the final step is to deploy a fix ("software patch").
Key Points
Logical Order: Transmission - Analysis - Isolation - Resolution.
Clue: Step 2 (deploying a patch to fix anomalies) must be the final step in the sequence because troubleshooting concludes with a permanent fix.
