Explanatory Answer

2, being the most general of the given statements, is the best opening sentence. 5 follows 2, as it continues the theme of how the world is captured in stories. 34 is a link: 3 talks of stories “never quite right” for us, and 4 about what happens “even if we manage to get them quite right”. 1 is a concluding statement. So, 25341 is the right order.

25341 is the correct answer.
