Directions (For the following 5 items): In the following items each passage consists of six sentences. The first sentence (S1) and the sixth sentence (S6) are given in the beginning. The middle four sentences in each have been removed and jumbled up. These are labelled P, Q, R and S. You are required to find out the proper sequence of the four sentences and mark accordingly on the Answer Sheet.
1. S1 : We Indians by nature are extremely emotional.
S6 : What must be appreciated is that none of the members of the Indian team has reacted to this mind game utterance of Hayden.
P : Had the political parties in India not been busy in fighting among themselves, they would have asked the Central Government to refuse visa to Hayden.
Q : Statisticians are working overtime to prove how our players have not been selfish.
R : Suddenly Hayden has become a villain.
S : Without realizing Hayden's intent in calling sub-continent players selfish, we have reacted angrily.
The correct sequence should be :
- AS - P - R - Q
- BR - Q - S - P
- CS - Q - R - P
- DR - P - S - Q
Explanation
S1 says Indians are emotional by nature, and S follows directly: "without realizing Hayden's intent... we reacted angrily". Q is the next link — statisticians "working overtime to prove how our players have not been selfish" (the rebuttal of Hayden's charge). R then makes Hayden the villain, and P escalates to the political demand that the government refuse Hayden a visa — the emotional overreaction S1 predicted. S6 closes the arc by contrasting all this with the fact that no Indian team member actually reacted to Hayden's mind games. Hence the sequence S-Q-R-P.
