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 : Great talkers are never great doers.
S6 : Those who do nothing are usually the most talkative.
P : Rather they serve themselves and never the community.
Q : But when the time for action comes, they keep themselves away.
R : We come across people who are eloquent over great things.
S : Many who deliver wonderful speeches about their own greatness, do no valuable service to the country.
The correct sequence should be:
- APRSQ
- BRQSP
- CRSQP
- DPQRS
Explanation
S1 asserts that great talkers are never great doers, and R introduces the familiar type of people who are eloquent over great things. Q contrasts their eloquence with their behaviour when the time for action comes, as they keep themselves away. S elaborates that those who deliver wonderful speeches about their own greatness do no valuable service to the country. P sharpens the criticism that they serve themselves and never the community. S6 restates the theme that those who do nothing are usually the most talkative. The introduction-to-contrast-to-indictment movement confirms RQSP.
