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 : The principles of enterprise capitalism have been extended far beyond the USA through the impact of economic globalisation.
S6 : Such pressures have helped to shape what is sometimes called the ‘new’ political economy.
P : Strong downward pressure has also been exerted on public spending, and particularly welfare budgets.
Q : Moreover the need to promote product and labour flexibility has often led to trade union activity.
R : Globalisation has promoted marketisation in a variety of ways.
S : Governments reduce tax levels in the hope of attracting ‘inward’ investment.
The correct sequence should be
- APQSR
- BSPQR
- CRPQS
- DRSPQ
Explanation
S1 introduces enterprise capitalism extended via globalisation. R states globalisation promoted marketisation, directly continuing S1's theme. S gives the example: governments reduce taxes to attract investment. P adds the consequence: pressure on public spending/welfare. Q adds 'moreover' the need for labour flexibility affecting unions. The word 'also' in P requires a preceding action (S), and 'moreover' in Q cannot precede P. The sequence R-S-P-Q is logical. Option (d) RSPQ is correct.
