Rearrange the following sentences in correct order to make a logical passage: 1. The team analyzed the survey data. 2. Insights were used to improve the customer experience. 3. A targeted marketing campaign was created. 4. The data was collected through various channels.

Correct — D. The four sentences are stages of one project, so order them by what each stage needs first.

Collection before analysis: data is collected (4) before the team can analyze it (1). That rules out 1-4-3-2 and 3-1-2-4.

Analysis before targeting: a targeted campaign (3) needs the analysis to say whom to target, so 1 precedes 3. That rules out 4-3-1-2.

The insights are applied last (2): 4-1-3-2 → option (d).

Why the others are wrong

• (a)
  1-4-3-2 — Opens with the team analyzing the survey data before sentence 4 has collected it — the analysis would have nothing to work on.
• (b)
  3-1-2-4 — Launches the campaign first and collects the data last, so the targeting and the insights would rest on data that does not yet exist.
• (c)
  4-3-1-2 — Collection opens correctly, but the targeted campaign (3) comes before the analysis (1) that would tell the team whom to target.

When a jumble has no pronouns or linking words, order it by process logic: each step follows the steps it depends on.

Here the chain is collect → analyze → act. Sentence 4 collects, 1 analyzes, and 3 and 2 act on what the analysis found.

Watch for words that hide a dependency. 'Targeted' presupposes a target already identified, and 'Insights' presupposes something already studied.

Key facts

• Data has to be collected before it can be analyzed, and analyzed before anything can be targeted.
• Targeted presupposes that a target group has already been identified.
• Insights are what analysis yields, so a sentence using them follows the analysis.

Common traps

• Starting with sentence 1 because 'The team' reads like an introduction — the team cannot analyze data not yet collected.
• Weighing 2 against 3 for third place — both options that open with 4 end with 2, so the 1-before-3 check is what separates them.
