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: Chandran was terribly angry.
S6: Saro ran screaming.
P: His pen was in her hand and Chandran rushed at her.
Q: Just then his sister, Saro, appeared at the door-step.
R: His pen was missing from the place where he had left it.
S: He thought it was lost. The proper sequence should be
- APRSQ
- BRSQP
- CPSQR
- DSQPR
Explanation
‘R’ will be the first part of the given sequence as the possessive pronoun ‘his’ is used in the context of ‘Chandran’ in S1. ‘S’ will follow next as the pronoun ‘it’ is used in relation to ‘pen’ in ‘R’. ‘Q’ will follow next as it tells what happens when he thought that he has lost his pen, that is, ‘just then his sister enters’. ‘P’ will come next as it tells that the pen was found in her sister’s hand. Hence, RSQP is the correct sequence. Thus, option (b) is correct.
