Explanatory Answer

3 is the best statement to start the paragraph as it introduces phoenixing. 32 is a clear link. In the same way, 41 is a sequence, as the pronoun “his” in 1 could only refer to the Australian Minister for Revenue and Services mentioned in 4. So, 3241 is the right order.

3241 is the correct answer.
