In this section each item consists of six sentences of a passage. The first and the sixth sentences are given in the beginning as SI and S6. 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: According to the legend it was during a famine in China many thousands of years ago that rice first came into the lives of the Asians.
S6: And the little girl gathered a harvest of rice.
P: The golden sunbeams dropped through the meshes and transformed themselves into golden grains.
Q: A little girl went fishing.
R: But instead of catching fish she netted the King of Frogs.
S: The King told her to hold out the net to the sunbeams while he sang a magic song. The proper sequence should be
- APSQR
- BRPSQ
- CQRSP
- DPQSR
Explanation
‘Q’ will be the first part of the given sequence as it begins introducing that how the rice first came into the lives of the Asians, that is, through the action undertaken by girl. ‘R’ will follow next as it is in contrast to the previous part which is depicted through the expression ’instead of catching fist’. ‘S’ will come next as it is in continuation with the previous part which is reflected from the word ‘the king’ who told her that what need to be done with the net after it was caught. ‘P’ will come next as it shows that what happened after the net was hold out to sunbeams. Hence, QRSP is the correct sequence. Thus, option (c) is correct.
