No two movements of the symphony are alike. The composers often used minuets for drama and the rondo for the finale. It varied with composers. The rondo form is a recurring theme which alternates with other music, typically described as A-B-A. The composer may start out with the rondo, go to a minuet, develop a different melody and return to the rondo. this would make the answer the first and fourth.
