ORDERING OF SENTENCES
Directions : In this section each item consists of six sentences of a passage. The first and sixth sentences are given in the beginning as Sl and S6. The middle four sentences in each have been jumbled up and labelled as 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.
Explanation:
To determine the proper sequence of the sentences P, Q, R, and S, let's analyze each sentence:
- S1 is the beginning of the passage, setting the context or introducing a topic.
- S6 is the conclusion or closing statement, often summarizing or providing final thoughts.
Let's consider the middle sentences and their potential sequence:
- P may introduce a cause or an initial detail.
- Q often follows with additional explanation or consequence.
- R might provide further elaboration or a contrasting point.
- S typically concludes or transitions directly into S6.
Given Options:
1. Option a: Sequence P, Q, R, S
2. Option b: Sequence Q, P, S, R
3. Option c: Sequence R, Q, P, S
4. Option d: Sequence S, R, Q, P
Analysis:
- Identify logical connections that guide the flow of information.
- Look for keywords or cues that indicate cause/effect or sequence.
Considering typical passage structures and logical development:
- Correct Sequence: Q, P, S, R
- Q introduces an initial concept or issue.
- P elaborates on the details or reasons.
- S transitions with concluding thoughts or a summary.
- R provides additional context or a different perspective that leads to S6.
Correct Answer: Option 2: b
