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: Things are often not what they seem.
S6: This happened without you even knowing it. So imagine the changes that occur to this earth and humanity.
P: But you are really not, because the Milky Way galaxy, of which you are a part, is moving through space at 2.1 million kilometre an hour.
Q: So in roughly twenty second that it would have taken you to read this paragraph, you have already moved thousands of kilometre.
R: And that is without taking into account the effects of earth's rotation on its own axis, its orbiting around the sun and sun's journey around the Milky Way.
S: As you read this sentence, perhaps sitting in a comfortable chair in your study, you would probably consider yourself at rest.
The correct sequence should be
- AQRPS
- BRQPS
- CPQRS
- DSPRQ
Explanation
S1 ('Things are often not what they seem') is illustrated by S (you feel at rest in your chair), which P directly contradicts ('But you are really not, because the Milky Way... is moving') — the S→P 'but' pivot is decisive. R adds earth's rotation and orbit to the motion, and Q quantifies it (thousands of kilometres in twenty seconds). S6 ('This happened without you even knowing it') concludes the 'not what they seem' idea. Hence (D) SPRQ is correct.
