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: Some students may feel that fast readers do not understand as much as slow readers.
S6: This statement, however, needs to be made with caution.
P: Some slow readers will have good comprehension and others poor.
Q: A quick glance at the scores will show that fast readers sometimes have very good comprehension and sometimes poor.
R: This fallacy can easily be disproved when you give the first reading test in a class.
S: In short, there is little relation between reading speed and comprehension. The proper sequence should be
- ARQPS
- BSQRP
- CPQRS
- DQSRP
Explanation
‘R’ will be the first part of the given sequence as ‘this fallacy’ is used in relation of the sentence mentioned in S1, hence making a pair with it. ‘Q’ will follow next as it is talking about the glance at the scores to determine the difference between the understanding between fast and slow readers in terms of comprehension, hence making a pair with the previous part. ‘P’ will follow next as it furthers the talk about the aspect of comprehension of slow readers. ‘S’ will make a pair with S6 as ‘This statement’ in S6 refers to the statement made in ‘S’. Hence, RQPS is the correct sequence. Thus, option (a) is correct.
