Question

S1: She was born into a poor family of labourers and died because poverty could not let her live.
S6: So, while the world was celebrating International Women's Day, Rita's mother, Mrs. Veena, spent the day trying to get her daughter justice, which eluded her in life.
P: She died not because she was ill, but because she had been allegedly beaten by her husband and in-laws for not bringing in sufficient dowry.
Q: At the young age of twenty, Rita breathed her last at J.P. Hospital on February 20.
R: Ironically, however, no one paid heed to Rita's woes when she used to cry for help.
S: The police have not taken any action either till date.

The proper sequence should be:

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

Answer 1

The correct option is C P-R-S-Q

The first statement in the sequence should be the one that best connects with S1. It should be a continuation or extension of S1.

P is first in the sequence: S1 starts by saying that she was born into a poor family of labourers and died because of poverty. P elaborates by saying that she did not die of illness but because she had been allegedly beaten by her husband and in-laws for not bringing sufficient dowry.

P is followed by R: R further adds to P. It says that ironically, no one paid heed to Rita's woes when she used to cry for help.

R is followed by S: S continues R's point. It says that even the police have not taken any action till date.

S is followed by Q: Q branches the discussion. It says that at the young age of twenty, Rita passed away on February 20. S6 further adds that as a result Rita's mother was trying to get her daughter justice while the world was celebrating International Women's Day.

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