Identify the proper sequence and select your answer from the options:

Our society today (P)that people have lost their frankness (Q)is so fragmented (R)and the art of conversation (S)seems to be disappearing fast

The correct sequence should be :

• A. S-P-R-Q
• B. P-S-Q-R
• C. S-Q-P-R
• D. Q-P-R-S

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Q-P-R-S

The first statement in the sequence should be the one that best connects with the first line. It must be a continuation or extension of the first line.

Q is first in the sequence: Q is the only phrase that connects with the first line. Thus, the line becomes, 'Our society today is so fragmented'.

Q is followed by P: P goes on to say that our society is so fragmented that people have lost their frankness.

P is followed by R: R continues P's point. It says that as the people have lost their frankness, something has happened to the art of conversation.

R is followed by S: S tells us what has happened to the art of conversation. It says that the art seems to be disappearing fast.

Finally, the correct sentence is 'Our society today is so fragmented that people have lost their frankness and the art of conversation seems to be dissappearing fast'.

Thus, the correct sequence is Q P R S. Hence, D is the correct option.
