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: The bus sped along the road.
S6: The dog wailed for a long time.
P: But the bus could stop only after covering a few yards.
Q: It injured the dog in the leg.
R: The driver applied the brake.
S: Suddenly a stray dog ran on to the middle of the road.
- ASPRQ
- BSRPQ
- CRPQS
- DPRSQ
Explanation
S breaks the calm of S1 with the sudden event: a stray dog runs onto the road. R is the driver's instant reaction - applying the brake. P explains the physics with 'But': the bus still travelled a few yards before stopping. Q gives the consequence - the dog's leg is injured - which S6 completes with its long wailing. Hence SRPQ, option B, is correct.
