Question 1.

The four sentences (labelled 1, 2, 3, and 4) given below, when properly sequenced, would yield a coherent paragraph. Decide on the proper sequencing of the order of the sentences and key in the sequence of the four numbers as your answer.

1. When I ask the distinguished LGBTQ activist and writer Cherie Moraga whether she uses Latinx to refer to herself, she tells me, 'I worked too hard for the "a" in Latina to give it up! I refer to myself as Xicana.'

2. Of our accumulated ethnic population, only a third use Hispanic to identify themselves, a mere 14 percent use Latino, and less than 2 percent recognize Latinx.

3. They have done this, although gender in languages is grammatical, not sociological or sexual, and found in linguistic families throughout the world, from French to Russian to Japanese.

4. More recently, activists seeking to render our name gender neutral, out of respect for our LGBTQ members, have devised yet another name for us: Latinx.

Text Explanation
All four sentences discuss how labels for a community have changed over time, focusing on the shift to gender-neutral terms, the debates about language, and how people actually use these labels. The sequence starts with sentence 4, which introduces the newest change: activists created the term Latinx to make the name gender-neutral and more inclusive of LGBTQ people. Sentence 3 comes next, adding that grammatical gender exists in many languages and is different from social or sexual gender. This helps explain why the term "Latinx" was introduced. Sentence 1 then gives a personal response, showing Cherie Moraga’s choice to use Latina and Xicana instead of Latinx, which makes the discussion more personal. Sentence 2 is best as the conclusion because it transitions from the individual example to data showing that few people use Latinx compared with other terms. So, the best order for the sentences is 4312.
