【分析】首先识别四幅图对应的中国古代发明：图1是司南，属于指南针，对应“指南针是中国古代发明”；图2是毕昇活字印刷的操作场景，对应“毕昇发明活字印刷”；图3是火药，对应“唐代创造火药”；图4是造纸术的制作工序，对应“造纸术起源中国”。再将句子与对应发明匹配，即可得到正确序号。最后回答问题时，选择任意一项中国古代发明，说明合理原因即可。
【解析】步骤1：判断图1为司南（指南针前身），匹配句子“The compass is an old Chinese invention.”，标序号1；步骤2：判断图3为火药，匹配句子“In the Tang Dynasty, Chinese created an explosive called gunpowder.”，标序号3；步骤3：判断图4为造纸术场景，匹配句子“Papermaking began in China and from here it spread to North Africa and Europe.”，标序号4；步骤4：判断图2为活字印刷场景，匹配句子“Bi Sheng created movable type printing.”，标序号2。因此句子序号依次为1、3、4、2。问题部分为开放性试题，可根据自身喜好回答，例如选择造纸术，原因是它推动了文化的传播与发展。
