Correct Answer: 25143
The correct sequence is 25143. Sentence 2 introduces the main idea that new social media is not very social. Sentence 5 elaborates on this by explaining how apps like Facebook operate. Sentence 1 provides evidence of this trend by showing the decline in people posting. Sentence 4 shows the shift to closed platforms, and sentence 3 concludes with the consequences of these changes. The sequence logically develops the idea that social media is becoming less social, backed by evidence and consequences.
