Question 6 : Five jumbled sentences (labelled 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5), related to a topic, are given below. Four of them can be put together to form a coherent paragraph. Identify the odd sentence out and key in the number of that sentence as your answer.

1. Sporting a copper-coloured pixie cut and a pair of pink feather antlers, Torres himself resembles a child’s doodle.
2. His casual millennial delivery, peppered with “um”s and “ah”s, makes surreal concepts sound like items on a brunch menu.
3. Though he may have failed so far in his colour-scouting mission (he hasn’t yet found a new one, he admits), this hour leaves you tickled pink.
4. Like his previous show, My Favourite Shapes, this is an hour of sit-down comedy aided by an overhead camera which relays Torres’s theories – illustrated with crayon squiggles – on to a screen behind him.
5. His inquisitive mind produces interconnected ideas about Catholicism, the blandness of Pixar and what orange sounds like, while his insights train us to spot “highly purple behaviour”.

Explanatory Answer

All sentences except 3 describe the sit-down comedy show featuring Torres. Sentence 3 talks of Torres' failure in his 'colour-scouting mission', which is unrelated to the other 4 sentences.
If we were to order the sentences in a paragraph, sentence 4 would go first, as it sets the context. 4 talks about the hour-long sit-down comedy show featuring Torres. The best sentence to follow this would be 1, which describes Torres' appearance. Both sentences 5 and 2 describe Torres' ideas. 4152 is a cogent paragraph. 3 is the odd one out.

The answer is '3'
