In this section, each item consists of six sentences. The first and sixth sentences are marked as S1 and S6. The four sentences between S1 and S6 have been jumbled up and labelled as P, Q, R and S. This is followed by four options, each suggesting a sequence of sentences. Identify the most appropriate option and mark your response on the Answer Sheet accordingly.
S1: Ramu was in a great hurry.
S6: Fortunately, it wasn’t a very serious one.
P: As a result of this carelessness, he met with an accident.
Q: The examination was to begin in five minutes time.
R: He just rushed across the road.
S: So he forgot to look to the left or right as he always did. The proper sequence should be
- ARQSP
- BSRPQ
- CRSPQ
- DQSRP
Explanation
‘Q’ will be the first part of the given sequence as it states the reason that why Ramu was in great hurry, that is, because his examination was to begin in five minutes time. ‘S’ will come next because it says that since he was in a hurry because of his examination, that is why ‘he forgot to look to the left or right as he always did’. ‘R’ will follow next as ‘just rushed’ is used in the context of ‘forgot to look’ in the very previous part. ‘P’ will come next as ‘this carelessness’ refers to the act of ‘rushing across the road’ in R. Hence, QSRP is the correct sequence. Thus, option (d) is correct
