[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Statement 2 seems to be the claim as it directly states that popcorn is America's favorite snack food. Statement 1 seems to be a reason as it provides an explanation for why popcorn is claimed to be America's favorite. Statement 4 appears to be evidence as it provides statistical data to support the claim that popcorn is the top-selling snack food. Therefore, the order of the statements in the paragraph should be: Statement 3 (providing historical context), followed by Statement 4 (presenting evidence of popcorn's sales), Statement 1 (providing a reason for popcorn being America's favorite), and finally Statement 2 (making the claim that popcorn is indeed the favorite snack food in America).
