Solution 1

The sentence that does not fit with the rest is "Importantly, they neither reduce hours worked nor increase spending on temptation goods like tobacco and alcohol." The other sentences are all discussing the concept of direct cash transfers as a solution to extreme poverty, while this sentence seems to be discussing the effects of something, but it's not clear what that something is. It could be referring to the cash transfers, but it doesn't explicitly say so, and the effects it's discussing (not reducing hours worked or increasing spending on temptation goods) are not directly related to the main topic of ending extreme poverty. So, the answer is 5.
