Entered answer:

Correct Answer: 4231
The logical order of the sentences to form a coherent paragraph is 4231.
  1. We start with sentence 4 as it introduces the main subject, researchers discovering bacteria carried over a long distance by clouds.
  2. Then sentence 2 explains the process of how bacteria are transported from the surface to the atmosphere, elaborating on the researchers' discovery.
  3. Sentence 3 follows, which further describes the journey of bacteria traveling across the world after reaching high altitudes.
  4. Finally, sentence 1 gives additional background information that explains where the bacteria originally lived, on the surface of vegetation, thus providing a full circle explanation.
This sequence is selected as it builds from the specific instance of discovery to the general process and concludes with detailed starting conditions.
