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 : Social networking is the grouping of individuals into specific groups, like small rural communities or a neighbourhood subdivision etc.
S6 : Depending on the social networking website, many of these online community members share a common interest such as hobbies, religion, or politics.
P : Although social networking is possible in person, especially in universities, high schools or in the workplace, it is most popular online.
Q : When it comes to online social networking, websites are commonly used.
R : These websites are known as social sites.
S : Social networking websites function like an online community of Internet users.
The correct sequence should be
- APQRS
- BPRQS
- CPRSQ
- DSPQR
Explanation
S1 defines social networking broadly. P narrows to online social networking being most popular. Q states websites are commonly used for online networking. R identifies these websites as 'social sites'. S describes how these sites function as online communities. This leads to S6 about members sharing interests. The sequence P-Q-R-S moves from general (online popularity) to specific (websites, social sites, function). Option (a) PQRS is correct. Cross-checked with Oswaal CDS Yearwise Solved Papers, whose explanation confirms 'the correct sequence is PQRS'.
