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 of the four sentences.
S1: Each organism is adapted to its environment.
S6: What can be taken in and broken down depends on the body design and functioning.
P: There is a range of strategies by which the food is taken in and used by the organism.
Q: For example, whether the food source is stationary (such as grass) or mobile (such as deer), would allow for differences in how the food is accessed and what is nutritive apparatus used by a cow or a lion.
R: The form of nutrition differs depending on the type and availability of food material as well as how it is obtained by an organism.
S: Some organisms break down the food material outside the body and then absorb it and others take in the whole material and break it down inside their bodies.
The correct sequence should be
- ARQPS
- BQPSR
- CSQPR
- DQPRS
Explanation
S1 states each organism is adapted to its environment; (R) the form of nutrition varies with food type, availability, and how it is obtained. (Q) gives the stationary-vs-mobile food example, (P) notes the range of strategies for taking in food, and (S) contrasts breaking food down outside versus inside the body — into S6 on body design. The sequence R-Q-P-S is option (A).
