1. It can be embedded in schools, hospitals, factories and prisons, adjusting relations of visibility to the activities monitored in each setting.
2. Having defined the layout in this way, we can now consider how it operates across different institutions.
3. A surveillance layout is a spatial arrangement that makes relationships of observation and control operate within an institution.
4. In short, these applications allow control to work from within an institution’s ordinary activities rather than as a separate external barrier.
Q13. Arrange the sentences into a coherent paragraph.
Answer and solution
Correct answer: D
Solution
1. Sentence 3 defines a surveillance layout. Sentence 2 explicitly moves from that definition to its applications, so 3 must precede 2.
2. Sentence 1 gives the promised institutional applications. It therefore follows the transition in 2. Sentence 4 concludes from “these applications”, so it follows 1.
3. These links give definition 3 → transition 2 → applications 1 → conclusion 4. The complete order is 3214.
4. A (3124) has a valid opener, but gives the applications before the sentence announcing that they will now be considered. It breaks the transition → example link.
5. B (1342) opens with an unintroduced “It”, then puts the transition after the conclusion. C (2341) opens with “Having defined” before the definition and concludes about applications before providing them.
6. D alone satisfies every link. Choosing sentence 3 as the opener is insufficient because both A and D start with it. Answer D.
G Strategy shortcut
Find the links, not just the opener: 3 defines; 2 transitions; 1 supplies applications; 4 concludes. Both A and D open with 3, so test the 2→1 transition to choose D = 3214.G Strategy: Find the links, not just the opener: 3 defines; 2 transitions; 1 supplies applications; 4 concludes. Both A and D open with 3, so test the 2→1 transition to choose D = 3214.
