The question below comprises four scattered segments of a paragraph. Identify…

Correct sequence: the segments in this order — the experts statement; the nurturing statement; the closed-unit statement; the mutual-respect statement.

• First: "In the study of sociology, experts have always been sure of one thing." This introduces the topic with a general claim.

• Second: "That is, a family is always the best place to be nurtured." This sentence immediately states what the experts are referring to, clarifying the general claim.

• Third: "Family is a closed unit and the mutual understanding seen in a family cannot be seen elsewhere." This elaborates on the family, giving supporting detail about its nature.

• Fourth: "Not only mutual respect, family is also based on mutual respect and love." This concluding sentence emphasizes the basis of family relationships and neatly wraps up the paragraph.

Putting the segments in this order produces a clear, coherent paragraph that moves from a general observation to a specific claim, then provides elaboration and a concluding remark.
