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: The climate question presents a leapfrog era for India's development paradigm.
S6: This presents a good template for India, building on its existing plans to introduce electric mobility through buses first, and cars by 2030.
P: Stephen Hawking was one of these few.
Q: Around this time he was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, an incurable motor neuron disease, and given two years to live.
R: Judging by the odds he faced as a young graduate student of physics at Cambridge University, nothing could have been a more remote possibility.
S: When he was about 20 years old, he got the shattering news that he could not work with the great Fred Hoyle for his PhD, as he had aspired to.
[Note: the middle sentences as printed do not cohere with S1/S6; the source appears to have interchanged the middle sentences of Q37 and Q38.]
- AP Q S R
- BP R Q S
- CS R P Q
- DP R S Q
Explanation
Note: the source interchanged the middle sentences of Q37 and Q38; as printed, Q37's P/Q/R/S are the Hawking sentences matching its options. P introduces Hawking as one of the "few" (scientists escaping the ivory tower, per S1); R continues "Judging by the odds he faced as a young graduate student..."; S gives the shattering news at age 20; Q follows with the ALS diagnosis "around this time" — leading to S6 ("Not many would have survived this"). The chain is P-R-S-Q. Hence (D).
