Numerical answer
Five sentences related to a topic are given below. Four of them can be put together to form a coherent, meaningful and unified paragraph. Identify the sentence that does not fit and enter its number.
1. The domestication of the horse around 3500 BCE transformed human mobility across the Eurasian steppe.
2. Horses allowed pastoral communities to herd far larger flocks over much greater distances than on foot.
3. This increased mobility is thought to have accelerated the spread of Indo-European languages across Europe and Asia.
4. Modern horse breeds are classified into hot-blooded, cold-blooded, and warm-blooded categories based on temperament and build.
5. Archaeological evidence, including bit wear on horse teeth, has allowed researchers to date domestication with increasing precision.

Show answer and solution
Answer: 4
Sentences 1, 2, 3, and 5 all concern the historical process and consequences of horse domestication and how researchers study it. Sentence 4 shifts entirely to a modern classification scheme for horse breeds by temperament and build, a taxonomic fact unrelated to the paragraph's historical narrative about domestication's effects and dating. It is therefore the odd one out.
