Parajumbles Question 8 - CAT 2020

Question

While you might think that you see or are aware of all the changes that happen in your immediate environment, there is simply too much information for your brain to fully process everything.

Psychologists use the term ‘change blindness’ to describe this tendency of people to be blind to changes though they are in the immediate environment.

It cannot be aware of every single thing that happens in the world around you.

Sometimes big shifts happen in front of your eyes and you are not at all aware of these changes.

Correct Sequence: 1342
Explanation: Sentence 1 introduces the core biological constraint: while we feel like we perceive everything around us, there is simply too much sensory data for the brain to process. Sentence 3 uses a pronouns link ("It cannot be aware...") to continue describing this exact brain limitation. Sentence 4 gives a concrete real-world example of this cognitive bottleneck, noting that massive environmental shifts can happen right in front of our eyes completely unnoticed. Sentence 2 elegantly wraps up the paragraph by providing the formal scientific terminology used by professionals to describe this exact phenomenon ("change blindness").
FundaMakers Tip: Unboxing Ambiguous Pronouns. When tracking down the placement of a sentence starting with a neutral pronoun like "It" (Sentence 3), check the subjects of preceding sentences. The pronoun "It" serves as a singular subject pronoun that directly continues the description of "your brain" from sentence 1, ensuring a 1-3 block.
