Explanatory Answer

2, which explains what placebo effect is, is the best opening sentence. 2 states that the placebo effect “used to be regularly dismissed by researchers”. 5 follows this up with what is now true: placebo effects are now studied not just as foils for "real" interventions but as a potential portal into the self-healing powers. So, 5 follows 2. 4 expands on the idea of self-healing mentioned in 5. So, 4 follows 5. 4 talks about the role of the mind in self-healing. 3 follows this up stating that the placebo effect “is not solely based on believing in treatment”. 1 carries forward the idea in 3 that the clinical setting in which treatments are administered is also paramount. So, 25431 is the correct order.


25431 is the correct answer.
