Numerical answer
The four sentences below, when properly sequenced, form a coherent paragraph. Enter the correct order as a four-digit number (e.g., 3142).
1. As a result, many households now keep a small reserve of cash specifically for situations where digital payment is unavailable or impractical.
2. Several countries that moved aggressively toward cashless payment systems have recently reported a resurgence in cash usage among certain groups.
3. Elderly residents and people in areas with unreliable internet connectivity found themselves increasingly unable to complete routine transactions.
4. This resurgence follows years of steep decline in cash transactions and appears to stem largely from gaps the cashless transition left unaddressed.

Show answer and solution
Answer: 2431
Sentence 2 states the trend: a resurgence in cash usage after aggressive moves toward cashless systems. Sentence 4 explains that this follows a period of decline and stems from unaddressed gaps. Sentence 3 specifies who was affected by those gaps (elderly residents, poor connectivity areas). Sentence 1 gives the resulting behaviour — households keeping a cash reserve. The coherent order is 2-4-3-1.
