Question: The four sentences (labelled 1, 2, 3, and 4) given in this question, when properly sequenced, form a coherent paragraph. Decide on the proper order for the sentences and key in this sequence of four numbers as your answer.
They would rather do virtuous side projects assiduously as long as these would not compel them into doing their day jobs more honourably or reduce the profit margins.
They would fund a million of the buzzwordy programs rather than fundamentally question the rules of their game or alter their own behavior to reduce the harm of the existing distorted, inefficient and unfair rules.
Like the dieter who would rather do anything to lose weight than actually eat less, the business elite would save the world through social-impact-investing and philanthrocapitalism.
Doing the right thing — and moving away from their win-win mentality — would involve real sacrifice; instead, it’s easier to focus on their pet projects and initiatives.
The paragraph is about how the business-elite would continue to work on their projects instead of altering their own behavior. Thus statement 3 is the first statement of the paragraph as it states that just as a dieter would do anything to lose weight but will not decrease the amount of food that he eats, business-elite would do many things to save the world but not relinquish the hold on his pet project. This should be followed by statement 2 as it states that the business-elite would fund many programs but not alter their own behavior which carries forth the idea mentioned in statement 3. There is a 4-1 link as statement 4 talks about the business-elite focusing on their pet-projects rather than changing their win-win mentality while statement 1 mentions about doing virtuous side projects as long as it does not reduce their profit margins.
