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: Nobody likes staying at home on a public holiday — especially if the weather is fine.
S6: It was very peaceful in the cool grass — until we heard bells ringing at the top of the hill.
P: We had brought plenty of food with us and we got it out of the car.
Q: The only difficulty was that millions of other p*eople had the same idea.
R: Now everything was ready so we sat down near a path at the foot of a hill.
S: We moved out of the city slowly behind a long line of cars, but at last we came to a quiet country road and after some time, stopped at a lonely farm. The proper sequence should be
- APSQR
- BQSPR
- CPQRS
- DSPQR
Explanation
'Q' will be the first part of the given sequence as the term 'idea' is used in the context of the statement in S1. 'S' will come next because it tells that due to the good weather they 'moved out of the city'. 'P' will follow next as it tells what happened after they stopped at a lonely farm: they took the food out of the car. 'R' will come next because once everything was ready, they sat down near the foot of the hill, pairing with S6's 'cool grass'. Hence, QSPR is the correct sequence. Thus, option (b) is correct.
