The proper sequence should be :

• A. QRSP
• B. PSRQ
• C. SQPR
• D. RPSQ

Answer 1

The correct option is D RPSQ

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

R is first in the sequence: S1 says that unity in diversity is a unique feature of India. R continues by saying that those who cannot see this underlying unity in diversity fail to understand this country properly.

R is followed by P: P further adds that these people should first try to know the mind and spirit of India.

P is followed by S: S tells us what will happen next. It says when these people understand, they will be able to discern strands of common heritage running through all the differences.

S is followed by Q: Q adds some details to S. It says that Nehru has referred to the above mentioned unity very feelingly in 'The Discovery of India'. S6 further asks if you have read this book. If not, you should do so now.

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