Answer 1

The correct option is A 3 2 1 4

Here, option A is the correct answer as it is the only coherent and logical arrangement that makes for a meaningful paragraph:

[3] It seems that banning plastic bags is useless because people always find a way around any ban. [2]Nevertheless, people should be made aware of the dangers of using them. [1]At least 267 marine species are known to have suffered due to ingestion of plastic bags resulting in death by starvation. [4]However, there are always some people who choose to turn a blind eye to the harmful effects of rampant plastic pollution.

Sentence [2] connects to [3] by stating a contradiction and [1] and [4] follow in this same order as they further expand and exemplify the topic introduced by [3]. Thus A is the best answer.
