Directions: In this section, each item consists of six sentences of a passage. The first and the 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 : Let us posit two questions: one, what ails our parliamentary system?
S6 : Given the current political scenario, it appears that India has yet to develop a strong parliamentary culture.
P : To search for an answer, we begin with Rudolf's observation that the parliamentary life has deteriorated in India.
Q : Two, how democratic is our democracy?
R : For a system to survive, grow and prosper, it needs to be supported by a democratic political culture.
S : There is an organic connectivity between a parliamentary system and parliamentary democracy.
The correct sequence should be:
- AQRPS
- BSPRQ
- CPQRS
- DQPRS
Explanation
S1 poses two questions about what ails the parliamentary system and how democratic Indian democracy is, and Q completes the pair by restating the second question. P begins the search for an answer with Rudolf's observation that parliamentary life has deteriorated in India. R states the general principle that a system needs a democratic political culture to survive, grow and prosper. S then draws the organic connectivity between a parliamentary system and parliamentary democracy, applying R's principle. S6 concludes that India has yet to develop a strong parliamentary culture, which is the logical verdict after this inquiry. The question-to-investigation-to-verdict flow confirms QPRS.
