Five sentences related to a topic are given below. Four of them can be put together to form a meaningful and coherent short paragraph. Identify the odd one out. Although we are born with the gift of language, research shows that we are surprisingly unskilled when it comes to communicating with others. We must carefully orchestrate our speech if we want to achieve our goals and bring our dreams to fruition. We often choose our words without thought, oblivious of the emotional effects they can have on others. We talk more than we need to, ignoring the effect we are having on those listening to us. We listen poorly, without realising it, and we often fail to pay attention to the subtle meanings conveyed by facial expressions, body gestures, and the tone and cadence of our voice. Correct answer is '2'. Can you explain this answer?

Directions: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given at the end.'Brother! The twelve years of exile are almost getting over!' Yudhishtara called his brother Arjuna as all the five Pandavas with Draupadi were inside the hut, in the forest. 'We need to find a place to stay hidden for the next one year.' (The rules for the dice game played for the second time were that the Pandavas had to spend 12 years in exile and the next one year in disguise. If the Kauravas found the location of the Pandavas during the 13th year, when they were in disguise, the Pandavas would have to again go for 12 years exile and spend the 13th year incognito and so on..)Yudhishtara studied the third Pandava with quiet pride. There had always been a passion in Arjuna's eyes which could never be masked. However after Arjuna's visit to his father's domain in the heavens (Arjuna's biological father was Indra, the Lord of the Devas) Arjuna had become more mature, more restrained. Yudhishtara heard the stories of how Arjuna had fought with the three-eyed Lord Shiva with utmost wonder. Yudhishtara was stupefied when Arjuna narrated how he had vanquished the Nivatakavachas.But probably the most amazingly impossible fact was when Yudhishtara heard Arjuna sing for them. Arjuna the peerless warrior, whose arrows had never failed him, sang with the passion which almost brought tears to Yudhishtara's eyes. Yudhishtara realized that this brother of his was special. Whatever Arjuna did, he did it with passion and achieved excellence in it.'Where did you learn this?' Draupadi asked looking amazed, after Arjuna finished singing.'The gandharvas and the apsaras in the heavens! They taught me how to sing and dance!' Arjuna said looking a little embarrassed.Draupadi misread his embarrassment. 'Were the apsaras really beautiful?' She asked with a hint of jealousy in her voice.Arjuna laughed miserably shaking his head. 'I have not yet told you the entire story!' He said heavily.'What is it?' Draupadi asked sharply.'In the heavens, I watched Urvashi dance in my father's court!' Arjuna said as Draupadi's face grew darker. 'I remembered thinking that this was the woman who had married Puru, our ancestor! Urvashi was like our mother!' Arjuna said as Draupadi watched her husband perplexed.'However Urvashi thought that I was a very handsome man!' Arjuna said colouring up right to his roots.'What happened then?' Nakula asked his brother.'When I told Urvashi, I thought of her like our mother...she..she..' Arjuna looked down faltering.'What happened?' Yudhishtara demanded.'She cursed me to be a shandha!' Arjuna finished lamely. (A Shandha is a person who is neither a male nor a femal e)Draupadi watched her husband completely numb, her thoughts spiraling completely out of control. She tried talking and failed as her mouth just refused to listen to her mind.'WHAT?' Bheema thundered.Arjuna nodded. 'My father interfered!' Arjuna said looking down. 'He said that the curse was for the best! He modified the curse and let it be in force only for a year and that it would be in force for the one year that we were in disguise!' Arjuna said looking at his brothers and his wife. 'My father Indra said otherwise, the marks on my hand as an archer would have been impossible to hide! And that people would know immediately that I was Arjuna!'None of them could think of anything to say to it. It was not a situation which required any reply. Yudhishtara cleared his throat. 'So what do we do now?' He asked finally.Arjuna nodded his head. 'We send the sages accompanying us to Dwaravati! As a diversion!' Arjuna started. 'That way Suyodhana (Duryodhan
