• A. MNPO
• B. PNMO
• C. MPNO
• D. NMPO

Answer 1

The correct option is A MNPO

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

M is first in the sequence: S1 says that Mahatma Gandhi had a unique way of life. M starts to tell us about this way. It says that he did not believe in theoretical ideology.

M is followed by N: N continues M's topic. It says that Gandhi's principles were mainly founded in action.

N is followed by P: P is an extension of N. It tells us further about these principles. It says that many of them suit our tradition.

P is followed by O: O provides an action to follow P's topic. It says that since many of the principles suit our tradition, we must strive to keep them. S6 continues this point by saying that it will be our homage to Gandhiji.

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