Consider the following sentences:
[A] Once gathered, this data trains predictive algorithms capable of forecasting local weather with high spatial resolution.
[B] Modern meteorological forecasting relies heavily on distributed sensor networks.
[C] These remote stations continuously monitor barometric pressure, wind vectors, and relative humidity.
[D] Disaster management agencies then deploy these granular forecasts to issue targeted evacuation warnings.

Which sequence forms the most coherent paragraph?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. B -> C -> A -> D

  1. Step 1: Locate the overarching introductory topic sentence. Sentence [B] introduces the general foundation of modern forecasting ("distributed sensor networks").
  2. Step 2: Track noun-pronoun and conceptual links: Sentence [C] specifies "These remote stations" and the atmospheric parameters they measure. Sentence [A] explains that "Once gathered, this data trains predictive algorithms", and Sentence [D] shows the practical application ("Disaster management agencies then deploy these granular forecasts..."). This gives the sequence: B -> C -> A -> D.
Answer
B -> C -> A -> D.
