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: A common disease of the eye is conjunctivitis or ‘pink eye’, which often occurs in school-children.
S6: Students with this condition should be sent to the doctor.
P: This disease spreads rapidly among school-children.
Q: A white discharge also appears in the comers of the eyes.
R: One or both eyeballs turn quite red and have a feeling of irritation.
S: This discharge forms a crust which can often be seen in the morning after the eyes have been shut all night. The proper sequence should be
- APSQR
- BRSQP
- CRQSP
- DQSRP
Explanation
‘R’ will be the first part of the given sequence as it tells the effect of the disease called ‘pink eye’ (mentioned in S1) , that is, eyeballs turn quite red and have a feeling of irritation. ‘Q’ will come next as it states the other effect of the disease, that is, a white discharge in the corners of the eyes. ‘S’ will come next as ‘this discharge’ refers to the ‘white discharge’ in Q. ‘P’ will pair with S6 as both the sentences are making reference to the school children , that is , students. Hence,RQSP is the correct sequence. Thus, option (c) is correct .
