Question
Arrange the different parts in the correct sequence to form a meaningful sentence/paragraph.
P : Good literacy magazines have been good
because of their editors
Q : Furthermore, to edit by committee, as it
were, would prevent any magazine from
finding its own identity
R : The more quirky and idiosyncratic they have
been, the better the magazine is, at least as
a general rule
S : But the number of editors one can have for a
magazine should also be determined by the
number of contributions to it
T : To have four editors for an issue that contains
only seven contributions is a bit silly to start
with
U : However, in spite of this anomaly, the
magazine does acquire merit in its attempt
to give a comprehensive view of the Indian
literacy scene as it is today

Solution
The correct option is B P R S T Q U
The first sentence in the sequence should be the one that introduces a new topic. It cannot be a phrase that is an extension or continuation of a topic.P is the first in sequence: P starts the discussion about how literacy magazines have been good because of their editors.P is followed by R: R further bolsters P's point by telling how the behaviour of the editors affects the magazines. Q and S cannot follow P as they jump to unrelated topics, while R continues the topic. Thus, options A, C and D are incorrect.R is followed by S: R finishes talking about the nature of editors and then S takes the discussion to number of editors. 'But' indicates a slight change in topic.
S is followed by T: T directly follows S by giving an example about the point made by S.
T is followed by Q: Q adds another point to the discussion. The word 'Furthermore' indicates that it is an additional point and not the main. Thus, it follows the point made by S and T.
Q is followed by U: After all the points are added, U provides a concluding statement. As it provides a conclusion, it is last.Thus, the correct sequence is P R S T Q U. Hence, B is the correct option.
