Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 2-3-1-4.

Logical flow:

2: This introduces the topic—“The proliferation of information online is immense.” It sets the context.

3: This logically follows by adding a limitation—“Not all information is accurate or unbiased.”

1: “Therefore” indicates a conclusion drawn from the previous idea—since information may be unreliable, critical evaluation becomes important.

4: This concludes the passage by suggesting a solution—media literacy skills are essential to deal with this situation.
