and Ebisu, were indigenous Japanese gods
Answer: 3142
Solutions:
Sentence 3 is clearly the introductory sentence since they mention all the seven Gods that were considered to bring good luck and happiness.
Sentence 1 with “Each one…” continues on the theme of good fortune.
Sentences 4-2 are a pair with sentence 4 mentioning two indigenous Japanese Gods while sentence 2 with “The others” mentions deities that were popular Buddhist, Hindu and Daoist Gods.
Hence, the correct sequence is 3142.
