The sentences given below, when properly sequenced, form a coherent paragraph. Each sentence is labelled with a number. Decide on the most logical order and enter the sequence of numbers in the space provided.

Using the wonders of Artificial Intelligence (AI), they quickly improved upon those skills to become far more dexterous.

Inside a robotics laboratory of the Toyota Research Institute, a group of robots is busy cooking. There is nothing special about that; robotic chefs have been around for a while.

Despite their extraordinary culinary capabilities, these robots are not destined for a career in catering.

But these robots are more proficient than most: flipping pancakes, slicing vegetables, and making pizzas with ease.

The difference is that instead of being laboriously programmed to carry out their tasks, the Toyota robots have been taught only a basic set of skills.

Answer & solution

Answer: 24513

Step 1 — find the opener. Sentence 2 sets the scene and introduces the robots for the first time. It also plants a deliberate hook: “There is nothing special about that.”

Step 2 — answer the hook. Sentence 4 begins with “But” and reverses it: “these robots are more proficient than most.” The nothing special → but pairing is the strongest link in the set.

Step 3 — explain the proficiency. Sentence 5 opens “The difference is that…” — it tells us why they are more proficient: they were taught a basic skill set rather than programmed.

Step 4 — complete the explanation. Sentence 1 says “they quickly improved upon those skills”. “Those skills” refers to the “basic set of skills” in sentence 5, so 1 must follow 5 directly.

Step 5 — close. Sentence 3 begins “Despite their extraordinary culinary capabilities…” — it can only come after those capabilities have been established, and it delivers the closing twist (they are not destined for catering).

Step 6 — the sequence.

2\to 4\to 5\to 1\to 3
