Question

The following are the sentences of a paragraph. The first and the last sentences are in order but the remaining sentences (P, Q, R, and S) may or may not be in the correct order. Find the right order of the sentences.

1 : Much of our adult behavior and our attitudes are determined by our upbringing.
P : But the process does not stop there.
Q : In particular, we are affected by that small part of society which we call our family.
R : As we grow, we are constantly affected by new forces such as the social pressure of our friends and the larger world of society.
S : Family and early life have a profound effect on our later life.
6 : Physiologists have studied these forces in depth.

• A. SRPQ
• B. PRSQ
• C. QPSR
• D. QSPR

Answer 1

The correct option is D QSPR

Sentence Q follows sentence (1) as the first sentence begins with a general topic, and the second sentence expands into a specific topic (the sentences range from general to specific).
Sentence S follows Q; the words "family and early life..." further expand on "our family" as mentioned in Q.
Sentence P follows S; as it deviates from the particular topic on family, and focuses on another point, as mentioned in R.
Sentence R follows P: the words "as we grow, we are constantly affected..." are an expansion of the previous thought, in P: "the process does not stop here".
Hence the correct logical sequence is: QSPR and option D is correct.
The other options are not correct because they do not represent the correct logical sequence.
