IPMAT 2024 - Verbal Ability Question 42

Sentence 3 introduces the alarming statistic about lightning-related deaths, providing the context for the subsequent sentences and makes a mandatory pair with sentence 2 as sentence 2 introduces a response to the issue: demands for compensation for the families of lightning strike victims. It adds another layer of complexity to the situation. Sentence 1 follows up on the announcement by the Minister, providing information about the measures being taken to address the issue, such as distributing pamphlets to raise awareness and prevent further casualties. Sentence 1 introduces a complicating factor: despite efforts to raise awareness about lightning dangers, some farmers still ignore weather warnings, potentially putting themselves at risk. Notice the word “however” in sentence 1. Thus, it presents a contrast to what is mentioned in 4. Hence, 3241 is the correct order.
