Answer 1

The logical order for the sentences to ensure the flow of ideas is A) 2, 4, 1, 3, beginning with the broad observation about the character and narrowing down to a specific event from a flashback.

Step-by-step explanation:

To choose the logical order for the sentences provided, one must consider the flow of ideas and how they build upon each other. First, the generalized observation about the character is mentioned. Then, there's an elaboration of that observation, followed by a specific example supporting it, and finally, a particular instance from a flashback.

The correct order begins with the broad statement about the character's victim attitude (2), which is then explained to stem from childhood (4), supported by the mention of a flashback (1), and ultimately elaborated by a specific event of being locked out by an abusive stepfather (3). Therefore, the logical order is: A) 2, 4, 1, 3.
