Directions: In this section each item consists of six sentences of a passage. The first and sixth sentences are given as S1 and S6.

You are required to find the proper sequence of the four sentences and mark your response accordingly on the Answer Sheet.
S1: Education, it is believed, is inseparable from our societal aspirations.
P: Education, as many would argue, was for realization of the Ultimate and the Absolute.
Q: In ancient times, for example, there was a distinctive spiritual meaning associated with education.
R: As these aspirations / world views undergo a process of transformation with the changing times, so does the meaning for education.
S: It was to overcome the finiteness of existence: all earthly temptations and desires.
S6 : But, for a modern / technical mind, this preoccupation with supreme spiritual knowledge may not hold such fascination.

Explanation
S1 links education to societal aspirations. R follows directly (as aspirations transform, so does education's meaning); P states the old meaning (realisation of the Ultimate); S continues it (overcoming finiteness of existence); Q gives the "for example" illustration of ancient times; and S6 contrasts this with the modern technical mind. This gives RPSQ. Hence option A.
