In this section each item consists of six sentences of a passage. The first and sixth sentences are given as S1 and S6. The middle four sentences have been jumbled up and labelled as P, Q, R and S. Find the proper sequence.
S1: We do not know, after 60 years of education, how to protect ourselves against epidemics like cholera and plague.
S6: This is the disastrous result of the system under which we are educated.
P: If our doctors could have started learning medicine at an earlier age, they would not make such a poor show as they do.
Q: I have seen hundreds of homes. I cannot say that I have found any evidence in them of knowledge of hygiene.
R: I consider it a very serious blot on the state of our education that our doctors have not found it possible to eradicate these diseases.
S: I have the greatest doubt whether our graduates know what one should do in case one is bitten by a snake.
- AR Q S P
- BP R Q S
- CQ R P S
- DP Q S R
Explanation
R ("I consider it a very serious blot...") responds directly to S1's charge about failing against epidemics; Q gives the observed evidence (homes with no hygiene); S extends it (graduates ignorant of snake-bite first aid); P concludes with the doctors' poor show — leading to S6's verdict on the education system. The logical chain is R-Q-S-P. Hence (A).
