In this section each item consists of six sentences of a passage. The first and sixth sentences are given in the beginning as S1 and S6. The middle four sentences in each have been jumbled up and labelled as P, Q, R and S. You are required to find the proper sequence of the four sentences and mark your response accordingly on the Answer Sheet.
S1: Politics is exciting because people disagree.
S6: It is not solitary people who make politics and a good society; it is the people together which make good politics and society.
P: For Aristotle politics is an attempt to create a good society because politics is, above all, a social activity.
Q: They also disagree about how such matters should be resolved, how collective decision should be made and who should have a say.
R: They disagree about how they should live.
S: Who should get what? How should power and other resource be distributed? Should society be based on cooperation or conflict? And so on.
The correct sequence should be
- ARSQP
- BPQSR
- CQSRP
- DRSPQ
Explanation
S1 says politics is exciting because people disagree, so R ('They disagree about how they should live' — 'they' = people) follows naturally. S lists the disagreements (who gets what, cooperation vs conflict), and Q ('They also disagree about how such matters should be resolved' — 'also' adds to S's list) extends it. P (Aristotle: politics as a social activity aimed at a good society) then sets up S6 ('it is the people together which make good politics' — echoing P's 'social activity'). Hence (A) RSQP is correct.
