Directions: 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 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: Wind power is an inexhaustible source of clean energy.
P: During the last decade, power production from the wind increased more than 25%.
Q: Although the cost of electrical energy produced by the wind depends on favourable sites for the location of wind turbines, wind power is already cost competitive with power produced from fossil fuels.
R: Much of the growth was in Europe, where most of the world's 17,000 megawatts of wind power is generated.
S: One expert calls wind generation the fastest-growing electricity-producing technology in the world.
S6: As examples, 13% of Denmark's power and more than 20% of power in the Netherlands, Spain and Germany is supplied by the wind.

Explanation
S1 introduces wind power as clean energy. Q qualifies it (cost depends on sites, yet already cost-competitive); S cites an expert calling it the fastest-growing electricity technology; P gives the evidence (production up 25% in a decade); R localises the growth (mostly Europe); and S6 supplies European examples (Denmark, Netherlands, Spain, Germany), continuing R. This gives QSPR. Hence option C.
