• C. PNMO
• D. MNOP

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

OMNP

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

O is first in the sequence: S1 says that India led the battle of freedom against the British. O continues this topic by saying that the battle was fought with a special technique.

O is followed by M: M is a direct continuation of O. It says that the technique mentioned in O brought us success.

M is followed by N: N is an extension of the topic discussed in M. It saya that after achieving success India championed the cause of other countries.

N is followed by P: P continues N's topic. It says that India was happy for those that achieved freedom. S6 continues this point by saying that some countries still remained slaves.

Thus, the correct sequence is O M N P. Hence, A is the correct option.
