Numerical answer
The four sentences below, labelled 1–4, can be arranged into a coherent paragraph. Enter the correct order as a 4-digit number (e.g., 3142).
1. Coffee's spread beyond the Arabian Peninsula began in the 15th century, when it was cultivated and traded chiefly from the port city of Mocha.
2. By the 17th century, coffeehouses had appeared across the Ottoman Empire and then Europe, becoming venues for conversation, business and political debate.
3. European colonial powers, seeing the crop's growing demand, later established coffee plantations in their tropical colonies, shifting much of global production away from Arabia.
4. This transformation of coffee from a regional crop into a colonial commodity set the pattern of global coffee trade that persists, in modified form, today.

Show answer and solution
Answer: 1234
Sentence 1 introduces coffee's earliest spread (15th century, Arabia). Sentence 2 continues chronologically (17th century, coffeehouses spreading). Sentence 3 follows with colonial powers establishing plantations 'later,' shifting production. Sentence 4 concludes by summarising 'this transformation' set up by sentence 3. The chronological and logical chain gives the order 1-2-3-4.
