Question
Arrange the following sentences in a logical sequence and choose the correct combination:
1. Then two astronomers - the German, Johannes Kepler, and the Italian, Galieo Galiliei - started to publicly support the Copernicus theory; despite the fact that the orbits it predicted did not quite match the ones observed.
2. This idea was that the sun was stationary at the center and that the earth and the planets move in circular orbits around the sun.
3. A simple model was proposed in 1514 by a polish priest, Nicholas Copernicus.
4. Nearly a century passed before this idea was taken seriously.

Solution
The correct option is A 3421
Sentence 3 comes first as it introduces a topic that is general, stating "a simple model". The other sentences cannot come first as they begin with words like 'then' and 'this'. This suggests that the sentences talk about specific things. Option C is incorrect as it does not begin with 3.
Sentence 4 follows 3 as the words "a century passed before this idea" refer to the "simple model" mentioned in 3.
Sentence 2 follows 4 as the words "this idea that the sun..." expand on the words "this idea was taken seriously" mentioned in 4.
Sentence 1 follows 2 as the words "then two astronomers..." go on to state what happened later in history.
Hence the correct sequence is: 3421. Option A contains this sequence, hence A is correct.
Options B and D are incorrect as they do not contain the correct logical sequence.
