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: Covid-19 pandemic threw a lot of challenges on the entire economy.
S6: In order to address this need and to promote economic activities post pandemic, MOHUA initiated ARHCs, a sub-scheme under PMAY(U).
P: These urban migrants stay in slums, informal settlements, unauthorized colonies, peri-urban areas to save cost on housing.
Q: Hence, they need decent rental housing at affordable rate near their worksites.
R: The biggest challenge was reverse migration of urban migrants/poor in the country.
S: The migration took place due to the temporary shutting down of industries and other sectors.
The correct sequence should be:
- APQRS
- BSRQP
- CQSRP
- DRSPQ
Explanation
R follows S1 by identifying reverse migration as the biggest challenge, S explains its cause in the shutdown of industries, P describes where these migrants stay, and Q states their need for affordable rental housing, which S6 answers with the ARHC scheme. The order RSPQ, option D, is coherent.
