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: One fine morning, I heard a sound of fire engines with loud alarm bells.
S6: It was a terrible scene, as huge flames of fire were coming out of the house.
P: I thought, perhaps a house was on fire.
Q: They were regulating the crowd.
R: The policemen were standing around a big house.
S: I immediately rushed out to see what was happening. The proper sequence should be
- APQRS
- BRSQP
- CSRPQ
- DPSRQ
Explanation
‘P’ will be the first part of the given sequence as the expression ‘perhaps a house was on fire’ is used in the context of ‘sound of fire engines’ in S1. ‘S’ will follow next as it states his reaction when he thought that his house was on fire, that is, he ‘rushed out to see’. ‘R’ will come next as it tells about the happening that was taking place outside. ‘Q’ will come next as the pronoun ‘they’ refers to ‘policeman’ in ‘R’. Hence, PSRQ is the correct sequence. Thus, option (d) is correct
