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 have been two schools of thought which deal with the errors of learners.
S6: Both views are popular today but the second is gaining ground fast.
P: The philosophy of the second school is that errors are natural and they will occur in any learning.
Q: So- errors, they say, is a sign of faulty teaching methods.
R: The first school maintains that if teaching methods are perfect, errors will never occur.
S: They argue that we should concentrate on how to deal with errors, instead of on method of teaching.

Explanation
R introduces the first of S1's two schools: with perfect teaching methods, errors never occur. Q stays with that school - 'they say' errors signal faulty methods. P then presents the second school: errors are natural and inevitable. S gives its prescription - deal with errors rather than with methods - and S6 confirms both views are popular, the second gaining ground. Hence RQPS, option D, is correct.
