Question 28 : 1. But now we have another group: the unwitting enablers.
2. Democracy and high levels of inequality of the kind that have come to characterize the United States are simply incompatible.
3. Believing these people are working for a better world, they are, actually, at most, chipping away at the margins, making slight course corrections, ensuring the system goes on as it is, uninterrupted.

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.
