Sentence 1: the first time i performed a solo, my stomach was in knots. sentence 2: despite my nerves, i was able to do it. sentence 3: my part certainly wasn’t perfect and may have been a little screechy, but i was proud of myself nonetheless. sentence 4: i could barely breathe, and i wasn’t sure a sound would come out when i opened my mouth to sing. what is the most logical way to sequence these sentences to create a logical narrative?

The answer is indeed 1 4 2 3

Explanation:

The four sentences provided in the question offer a short narrative about an event in the speaker's life. The speaker had to sing solo for the first time. That is the introduction, sentence number 1, the situation in which the speaker is. Since it is mentioned in the very introduction that the speaker is nervous, the most logical way to continue the narrative would be by following this information with a sentence that develops it a bit further. That would be sentence number 4, in which details are given as to how nervous he or she was. Now we need to know if the speaker was or wasn't able to sing at all. Sentence 2 tells us he/she did sing. Sentence 3 offers further information; he/she did it, not perfectly, a bit screechy. But it was accomplished anyway. That's why the logical way to sequence this narrative is 1 4 2 3.

often a noun phrase is just a noun or a pronoun:

people like to have money.

i am tired.

it is getting late.

the statement that best explains why the tenth amendment reserves some rights and powers to states is that the framers believed in the principle of federalism. this principle says that some powers are in the hands of a centralized national government, while others are reserved for the governments of several states.
