Numerical answer
Six sentences are given below, numbered 1–6. Five of them form a coherent paragraph; one does not fit. Enter the number of the sentence that does not fit.
1. Most websites and apps now track user behaviour in far more granular detail than users typically realise, from cursor movements to how long a page is viewed.
2. This data is frequently sold to or shared with third-party advertising networks, which combine it across services to build detailed behavioural profiles.
3. Some countries have responded with data-protection laws requiring companies to disclose what they collect and to obtain explicit consent before collecting it.
4. Enforcement of these laws varies widely, and penalties for violations are often too small relative to company revenues to meaningfully deter the practice.
5. Password managers can help users generate and store strong, unique passwords for each of their online accounts.
6. Privacy researchers argue that meaningful consent is difficult to achieve when disclosure notices are long, technical and rarely read in full.

Show answer and solution
Answer: 5
Sentences 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 form a coherent thread on behavioural tracking and its regulation: tracking practices (1), data sharing (2), legal responses (3), weak enforcement (4), and the difficulty of genuine consent (6). Sentence 5, about password managers, concerns a different topic (password security, not behavioural tracking or consent) and does not fit this paragraph.
