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: There isn’t a cricketer worth his salt who does not aspire for captaincy.
S6: It is against this background that any emotions surrounding the captaincy should be viewed.
P: Even parents are proud when their sons become the captain.
Q: At the lower levels, it is the best player who gets to lead the team.
R: In cricket, the greatest honour any player can get is the captaincy.
S: Right from their school days, boys dream of leading the team. The proper sequence should be
- APQRS
- BSRQP
- CPQSR
- DSQPR
Explanation
The opening line talks about cricket and the motivation in boys to join the team which is connected to the next line S that takes us back to 'school days'. R and Q will come together as they talk about the concept of ‘‘leading the team”. P will be the last sentence naturally followed by the closing line that sums up the entire passage. The correct sequence of the passage so formed will be SRQP. So, option (b) is correct.
