ORDERING OF SENTENCES
Directions: in this section, each item consists of six sentences of a passage. The first and the sixth sentences are given in the beginning as S I and 56. The middle four sentences in each have been jumbled up and labelled P, Q, R and S. You are required to find the proper sequence of the four sentences and mark your response accordingly on the Answer Sheet.
S1 : Crude oil obtained from the field is taken to a refinery for treatment.
S6 : Lubricating oils of various grades are obtained last of all.
P : The gas that comes off later is condensed into paraffin.
Q : This allows substances with different boiling points to be separated.
R : The first vapours to rise when cooled provide the finest petrol.
S : The commonest form of treatment is heating.
The proper sequence should be:
Explanation:
‘S’ will be the first part of the given sequence as it is talkingabout the form of treatment referred in the opening part of thegiven passage. ‘Q’ will come next as ‘this’ is used in the context of the ‘heating’ mentioned in ‘S’. It will be followed by ‘R’ as it tells the after effect of boiling that is, cooling of first water vapours which in turn provides ‘finest petrol’. ‘P’ will follow next as it talks about the fact that the gas that comes gets converted into paraffin. Hence, SQRP is the correct sequence. Thus, option (1) is correct.
