Explanatory Answer

Sentence 2 is the best opening sentence, as it is very general. 4 explains 2 and so 24 is a sequence. Similarly, 41 is a sequence: 4 talks of ‘very rich people’ as a group, while sentence 1 talks of ‘another group’, the unwitting enablers. The reference to ‘these people’ in 3 could only be to the unwitting enablers. So, 3 is the concluding sentence.
