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.
1. Strict liability is a legal doctrine under which a party can be held responsible for damages without the injured party needing to prove negligence or fault.
2. It is most commonly applied in cases involving inherently hazardous activities, such as handling explosives or keeping dangerous wild animals.
3. Critics argue that strict liability can feel unfair when a defendant took every reasonable precaution and was still found liable.
4. Defenders counter that the doctrine is less about punishing carelessness than about ensuring that whoever profits from a risky activity also bears its costs.

Answer: 1234
Sentence 1 defines strict liability. Sentence 2 explains where it is applied. Sentence 3 introduces a criticism of the doctrine just defined. Sentence 4 presents the defenders' counter-response to that criticism ('Defenders counter...'), which must follow sentence 3. This gives the order 1-2-3-4.
